Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only two clubs that are now backing the Super League proposal. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has taken shots at Real Madrid and Barcelona in response to the verdict that the Court of Justice of the European Union issued earlier today about the Super League.
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a ruling earlier today that UEFA and FIFA overstepped their authority when they took action against the establishment of the Super League by threatening the teams who were engaged in the initiative with fines.
The Super League initiative might possibly be relaunched in the future as a result of this verdict, with A22, the business that is supporting the renegade competition, even suggesting a new and updated structure that would include 64 clubs.
Although Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to show their support for the concept, no other teams have joined them in doing so. This is due to the fact that the most successful clubs in Europe are moving away from the Super League.
In point of fact, a number of European teams, including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, and AS Roma, have turned down the opportunity to participate in the initiative.
Within the borders of Spain, clubs like as Valencia, Villarreal, Sevilla, and Girona, who are currently in the lead in La Liga, have also voiced their objections.
In light of this, the head of UEFA, Ceferin, has made fun of Real Madrid and Barcelona in relation to the Super League, stating that “They can create whatever they want.” Due to the fact that there are only two clubs, I hope they have a fantastic competition.
There is a possibility that Madrid and Barcelona are not aware of what they are doing. He went on to say that football is not available for purchase.
CEFERIN made the following observation in response to the judgment made by the CJEU: “We see the decision as an opportunity to improve some rules.” However, football continues to be a unified sport, which is why all of the stakeholders are collaborating.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) press statement and the actual verdict are quite different from one another. Overall, the decision is quite encouraging.
He continued by saying, “I have the feeling that A22, now that it’s getting close to Christmas, have seen a big box.” This was another accusation that he made against the Super League. Despite the fact that they were overjoyed, they discovered that the package did not include a significant amount of the item they had purchased.
The Super League is still being opposed by UEFA, FIFA, and the European Football Association (ECA), while the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 have all published comments expressing their opposition to the league. Despite this, Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to maintain their unwavering support for the initiative.
