PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi insists the protagonists of the European Super League are clubs who are afraid of competition.
Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the three clubs still pushing for the idea to succeed.
Juve president Andrea Agnelli has sacrificed his prestigious role in UEFA and the ECA, and there is no going back for him now.
But the other 9 clubs that initially supported it and their fans have rejected the idea.
It is very hard for it to succeed in its second coming because the first proposal smelt of greed.
Al-Khelaifi was asked about it again recently and he insisted it was an idea that is built on greed.
He said, as quoted by Calciomercato:
“You can call it Super League, I call it non-Super League. Football needs to be developed in a way that respects small, medium and large clubs, as well as the fans … Some clubs don’t want medium-sized clubs to get big, they are afraid of competition … The football ecosystem is bigger than two or three clubs. The message has been sent, none of it can break the football ecosystem. My colleagues at the ECA and I are strongly opposed to the Super League. “
Juve FC Says
UEFA has a monopoly of football in Europe that has to end, but whoever wants to end it must bring a better idea.
The Super League protagonists had a great chance of ending the monopoly, but their initial idea was even more selfish than what UEFA is offering.
Fans will struggle to trust them a second time, but there is no harm in trying and they have already lost so much.
wow, how hypocritic from a guy that bougth Mbappe from Monaco when they were threatening psg dominance. Another proof that you can’t trust the middle East businessman. FFP and uefa are a joke
ah i didn`t know that. well goes to show they think mopney can solve all issues and everyone`s for sale./ The fans aren`t, look at what happening with United. Still protesting even though they have been transformed under Ten Hag, spent millions and got some nice players now even if it`s only just morale and nothing else, and it`s only a few games in. allegri wlil lose against PSG but Juventus still has a soul.
This guy is the epitome of anti-football with his billions in blood money hiking up transfer prices so that almost any other club can’t compete. This guy is in corrupt UEFA’s back pocket. Plastic clubs financed by endless rivers of blood money like PSG are the reason why we need a super league.
oil clubs like his are disgusting
all as bad as each other. the super league is dead and buried. if all the clubs were on board? sure. but they are not, and this is comedy central. agnelli making us the laughing stock again, just like keeping allegi, or not having a foreign coach #AllegriOut #AgnelliOut
Let the president of PSG win any major trophy, not home before he opens his mouth. He will be eliminated even in champions league before semifinals
