Super League was not coup d’etat but warning cry for system on verge of collapse, asserts Andrea Agnelli

However, in light of the disciplinary proceedings, it has seen all three clubs defend their stance and the fact that they’re still a part of the Super League. It also saw Andrea Agnelli admit that things need to change in European football and it has to happen before the system collapses. The Juventus president further added that there’s an inefficient system in place right now that needs to change.

"I remember a proposal from 2019 between the ECA [European Clubs Association] and UEFA, which I thought was excellent, and in fact was supported by clubs in the second, third and fourth division. You cannot help but recognise European football is concentrated into a monopoly of executive, economic and juridical power, reserving UEFA the almost arbitrary responsibility of assigning licences," Agnelli said in a press conference, reported Goal.

The three clubs – Real Madrid Barcelona and Juventus – have released strong statements that have condemned UEFA’s decisions since the creation of the Super League including the disciplinary proceedings. That hasn’t gone down well with European football’s governing body and it saw Agnelli add that the three clubs have only asked for proper communication. But the Juve president also hit out at UEFA and called them arrogant with an attitude that needs to improve.

“Almost all stakeholders maintain football has to be reformed, yet those who do make proposals are demonised. Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona intend to continue with our proposals, also in solidarity with those who were too afraid to stick to them," he added.
