An online petition Real Madrid should be stripped
of their first five European Cup wins, according
to an online petition that has amassed 50,000
votes.
The petition on change.org claims the trophies
Real Madrid won in the first five European Cup
tournaments, between 1955-56 and 1959-60,
were not in the same format as the modern
Champions League.
Real Madrid have won the European Cup and
Champions League 10 times in total, and they
have the chance to make it 11 when they face
Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final on
May 28 in Milan.
The petition, started by Spain-based user
'Justicia Deportiva', which translates as Sporting
Justice, reads: "We wish to request, in the name
of the values represented by the sport and by
democracy, that Real Madrid's European Cup
titles won between 1955-56 and 1959-60 are
immediately revoked.
"[This would be] in recognition of the fact that
those trophies in no way correspond to the
competition recognised today as the UEFA
Champions League."
Champions League organisers UEFA will be the
recipient of the petition once it's complete.
