European Super League: 9 rebel clubs accept sanctions|Barca Real Madrid &Juve may be banned from UCL

Nine of the 12 so-called 'Super League' clubs have formally renounced the breakaway and committed to the existing European competitions - but they will have to give up 5 per cent of UEFA revenue for one season as a punishment for the rebellion that briefly split football. However, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have refused to approve what UEFA on Friday called "reintegration measures" and they will be referred to UEFA disciplinary bodies for sanctions after backing the new largely closed competition, meaning they could be banned from the Champions League. The Super League project imploded three weeks ago after the English clubs - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur - backed out inside 48 hours after a backlash from fans and the British government. The Premier League clubs, along with Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan, have officially signed up to a settlement with UEFA to participate only in the existing open European competitions. The nine clubs will make a combined payment of 15 million euros (US$ 18 million) for what UEFA called a "gesture of goodwill" to benefit children, youth and grassroots football. They have also accepted UEFA withholding 5 per cent of revenue for the next season they play in their club competitions. The clubs have also agreed to be fined 100 million euros if they seek again to play in an unauthorized competition or 50 million euros if they breach any other commitments to UEFA as part of the settlement.
