Super League News

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has defended the European Super League and has claimed that the project is the only way to defend and enforce a proper financial fair play rules. The Super League was officially created in April but imploded soon after with nine out of the 12 goals pulling out.

Following UEFA’s confirmation that they have halted disciplinary proceedings, European football’s governing body has released a statement that has revealed they are set to make an appeal against the decision. This comes after a court in Madrid asked UEFA to suspend its disciplinary proceedings.

In light of criticism, Barcelona president Joan Laporta has vowed that the club won’t apologize to UEFA for trying to create a Super League as they wanted to control their ‘own destiny’. The La Liga giants, Real Madrid and Juventus are the only three founding teams still left in the Super League.

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has continued to defend the Super League and has admitted that it was never a coup d’etat but a warning call from a system that needed it. The Super League was created by 12 of Europe’s biggest sides but was soon suspended after 75% of the founders withdrew.
