A disciplinary investigation has been opened against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus in connection to their involvement with the European Super League project, UEFA has announced.

The three clubs were key drivers in the breakaway league’s official foundation on April 18, and did not join the other nine Super League clubs in renouncing the competition and renewing their commitments to UEFA last Friday.
