UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid over their involvement in the proposed European Super League.
The clubs were part of the 12 founding members of the breakaway league, which later collapsed.
The other nine clubs renounced the project but Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid have refused to do so.
UEFA says the proceedings had been opened against the three for a potential violation of UEFA’s legal framework.
The other nine clubs involved - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid - have been punished for their participation.
They have agreed to make a combined 15 million euro goodwill contribution to benefit children's and grassroots football across Europe.
