Elders Hissel and Dupont are not, and it is an understatement, not the most talkative lawyers around when it comes to addressing the media.
It is generally the topicality which is responsible for hoisting the two Lieges to the “One”, as was the case, last May, when they obtained for their three clients – FC Barcelona, Juventus Turin and the Real Madrid – that preliminary questions be put to the European Court about the Super League, which had aroused collective ire and sanctions (in the meantime suspended) from UEFA.
The case raises a question which comes up often, and which was again pinned last November by the court of first instance concerning the ban on exercising pronounced against Dejan Veljkovic: can the football authorities be neutral when ‘they are at the same time regulating and organizing events?
