Manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that this ruling will give a wake-up call to all the soccer governing bodies out there.
FIFA and UEFA have already received support from several European giants. However, the organizers of the European Super League will continue to approach other top clubs to play in the competition.

After the European Super League was given the go-ahead by the ECJ, the old participating clubs like Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United announced that they had no intentions of returning.

“We don’t have a real say on what is going on, so I like that they get a bit of a shake [because of the ECJ ruling]”, he concluded. Two and a half years ago, the Reds announced their support for the European Super League. But, that led to protests from the fans in front of Anfield. It also led to negativity around the club. This led to the club withdrawing its name days later. The owner John Henry also had to release a video apologising to the fans. The English Premier League is working to make rules to prevent teams from its league from being drawn towards the Super League.

Despite the English Premier League clubs rejecting the Super League, fans have concerns about the breakaway competition. But, it looks like the league has prepared a plan already to stop it from happening in the future. According to reports, they are planning to introduce a Football Governance Bill. This bill will be introduced in 2024.
It will stop the teams from joining the rebel league. Reportedly, any steps towards accepting the Super League will have very bad consequences. One of them will mean that the club could be ‘thrown out’ of the elite competition.
