Petitions to strip Real Madrid of their first 5 CL titles garners 50,000 signatures

 

Online petitions demanding that Real Madrid's first five European titles be revoked has garnered a total of 50,000 signatures on change.org. The petition which kicked off few days back by a certain Justicia Deportiva - (Sporting Justice) reads thus.

 

"We wish to request, in the name of the values represented by the sport and by democracy, that Real Madrid's 5 'European Cups' won between 1955-56 and 1959-60, be immediately revoked in recognition of the fact that those trophies in no way correspond to the competition recognized today as the UEFA Champions League".

So what they are saying in essence is that every time a format is changed the title holder should be stripped off their title?  Very funny!
