UEFA and Real Madrid have finally reached an agreement to end their legal dispute over the European Super League competition project that has sparked major controversy in European football.
The news was announced jointly by UEFA, Real Madrid and the European Football Clubs (EFC) on Wednesday.
UEFA and Madrid said they had agreed in principle after months of talks.
The agreement confirms that the principle of sporting merit will continue to be respected in order to maintain the safety of club football in Europe.
"This agreement in principle will also form the basis for resolving any legal disputes related to the European Super League, once the principles are implemented," they said, as reported by ESPN on Wednesday.
Last October, Real Madrid demanded compensation from UEFA after the Madrid Regional Court rejected an appeal by UEFA, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and LaLiga regarding the Super League project.
Real Madrid is one of 12 elite European clubs that supports the creation of a rival competition to the Champions League in 2021.
