UEFA and LaLiga have asked the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to modify the press release of the ruling on the Super League, considering it inaccurate and contradictory.

According to 'The Times', in its letter, UEFA denounces that the note sent to the press was erroneous and that, among other things, it did not include key points such as that sports organizations can request exemptions from European competition rules if they are of public interest. “The press releases of the CJEU must at least faithfully reflect the actual content of the ruling. “While we appreciate that press releases are not binding on the court, they are the focal point of media attention in high-profile cases, and damage the perception and reputation of UEFA, given the extreme seriousness of the matter.”

“The statements also remain on the court's website. Additionally, in a high-profile case like this they attract a lot of attention and influence the way the case is perceived.. We therefore ask that you ensure that the press release is modified to accurately reflect the court's ruling,” concluded the European body's letter to the CJEU..

For its part, LaLiga, through its president, Javier Tebas, also criticized the wording of the press release because “it caused an undeniable misinterpretation of the true legal meaning of the ruling.”

“The official press release of the CJEU, on which all the media based their information, contained an erroneous headline that led to confusion among journalists and other citizens who accessed this statement,” Tebas argued about that controversial writing..
