Juventus is one of only three clubs who still insist that the "Super League" was a great idea and its merits were not understood by the rest of the world.

Gozi's Twitter profile prominently displays his allegiance to Juventus FC, Italy's most popular soccer club:īased in the Piedmontese capital of Turin, "Juve"-nicknamed La Vecchia Signora, "the Old Lady"-is majority-owned by the Agnelli family, one of the largest shareholders in the (now Avanci-licensed) Stellantis automotive group. Whether that makes him the EU equivalent of a carpetbagger is an interesting question, but not the issue here. Three months after the hearing and two months before Advocate General Athanasios Rantos will hand down his opinion, the European Commission has now drawn the ire of Sandro Gozi, a Member of the European Parliament who served in the Italian parliament and executive government, but in 2019 was elected to the European Parliament on a French ticket. Shortly before the hearing the European Court of Justice held in mid-July, I discussed how the EC's Directorate-General for Competition (DG COMP) might be able to defend its International Skating Union decision (which was affirmed by the EU General Court, but appealed further to the ECJ) while supporting the European Sports Model in European Superleague Company v. Emotions often rise high in Europe (as they do elsewhere) around soccer, and the most controversial item in the history of EU sports policy has been-and due to a pending court case continues to be-the failed attempt to form a breakaway league called the "European Super League" in 2021. The equivalent of that has just happened with respect to sports. No one in their right mind would seriously want to hamstring the Commission's digital policy efforts. Imagine for a moment that some Member of the European Parliament would have immediately criticized the Commission, given that various litigations involving Nokia (a couple of which I've discussed on this blog) are currently pending, and would have suggested that the Commission decision unduly interferes with the judicial process. On Friday, Nokia proudly announced that the European Commission has chosen it to "lead the next phase of Europe's 6G flagship project" named Hexa-X.
