Uefa has called for the removal of the Madrid judge at the centre of its legal dispute with the European Super League.
European football’s governing body has filed a motion requesting the recusal of Manuel Ruiz de Lara, citing what it describes as “significant irregularities” in the commercial court proceedings he has overseen.
The court’s rulings have obliged Uefa to declare disciplinary proceedings against Super League rebel clubs Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus null and void and not to seek payments from the other nine clubs which had been part of a peace agreement reached in May. Now Uefa is seeking Ruiz de Lara’s recusal.
