MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin mocked the "fantastic" Super League on Thursday, hours after the European Court of Justice ruled that UEFA and FIFA contravened EU law by preventing the league's formation.

The EU court said UEFA and FIFA had used their dominant position by threatening sanctions against the 12 clubs that proposed forming the breakaway European league which led to nine of them withdrawing.
