UEFA gave the nickname to the participants from England, Spain and Italy “Dirty Dozen” after they announced their intention to form a breakout competition that would compete with the Champions League.
Despite many false news in recent days, the UCL semi-finals Real Madrid-Chelsea and Manchester City-PSG will continue regularly.
UEFA will not ban any club for this season. The matches have never been interrupted. ? #UCL

In 48 hours, the whole project fell apart, with the six English clubs merging with Inter and Atletico Madrid when they announced that they would withdraw from the event.
That being said, four sides are still committed to the proposal, although Milan, Juventus and Barcelona have all admitted that it cannot go ahead in its current form.
Since the news of the Super League downfall has been announced, attention has been focused on the sanctions that can be handed out to the clubs concerned, with the very real threat of being expelled from this season’s UEFA competitions and any future editions delayed.
With Real, Chelsea and Manchester City all left in this season’s Champions League and other Super League clubs Arsenal and Manchester United in the last four of the Europa League, the possibility remained that they could all be kicked out of this season’s respective competitions.
However, the Daily Mail reports that UEFA has chosen not to take such action, while confirming that none of the Super League participants will be excluded from future editions of their events.

There had been suggestions that Real could face the toughest punishment from UEFA given their refusal to withdraw from the Super League and their continued involvement in this season’s Champions League, but for now they may continue their bid for European silver.
Despite UEFA’s ease, the 12 clubs are still facing possible penalties from the governing bodies of their domestic leagues, although FIGC president Gabriele Gravina has claimed that the Italian trio will not be reprimanded for not making the Super League plans .
