MADRID has decided to withdraw its legal recourse from the “SAT”
(Sporting Arbitrage Tribunal) in reference to the inscriptions of
HUNTELAAR & LASSANA DIARRA for this years Champions League.

SFS wishes to recall that Real Madrid signed both players thinking they were
eligible for this years Champions League tournament , to find later that UEFA
only allows one to participate (article 17.18) . Real thought they were in the
right & UEFA in the wrong – or at least make it seem that way - & decided
to argue the case all the way to the SAT & thus overturn the UEFA rule.
Today Real Madrid decided not to continue with this legal course & accept
the UEFA rule of only inscribing one player. That player will be LASSANA
DIARRA who has convinced Coach Juande Ramos to be the more suited
player for his team scheme. Huntelaar will no doubt be disappointed as he
was sold the idea that he would play Champions & will now have to wait.
It seems Real Madrid wishes to avoid a direct confrontation with UEFA over
this issue, & continue with its good relations. The move seems to be a wise
decision with a more logical mid to long term view dominating over a
short term position. Tweet
