General Assembly of Real Madrid 2021, live

Florentine. “The pandemic has made us live one of the most difficult moments in the history of football. The Super League is not just a new competition. It is much more. It is about changing the dynamics of football. It is freedom. It was conceived for the clubs Europeans we can manage our own international leagues. It is the project that will finally protect the financial Fair Play and thus prevent the clubs from receiving great financial support, whether they are states or not. It is also solidarity and commitment to create an infrastructure in football , It is respect for national competitions. The agreements established by the founding clubs clearly respect the national competitions. The data shows us that the different entertainment channels are distancing football from the youth. We are causing the fans to abandon us. For example, Chelsea and Madrid had never met until last season, two historic teams. Another historic team, Ajax, arriving or to the semifinals, he was forced to play a preliminary phase the following year. A format that should not continue to exist. That of the Superliga will be open and may change according to what is requested each moment. The great clubs of Europe have the responsibility of looking after the future of football. It is we, and not UEFA, who bear all operational costs and risks. A final trigger was when, starting in April, UEFA reported a new format with more inconsequential matches. A project that had a lot of criticism. 12 of the most important clubs in the world announced the European Super League and founded a company based in Madrid. UEFA denied any dialogue with the Superliga and told a false story. It is not acceptable for the UEFA president to insult the president of one of the most important clubs in history. Said threats and pressures had no effect on three clubs with a total of 20 Champions League. These clubs work so that football continues to interest new generations. Anyway, you have to remind UEFA who Real Madrid is. It is the most successful club in the history of football. And he has watched over the traditions of football when they were in danger. He was the defender of the creation of the European Cup. UEFA showed its radical opposition and our president Bernabéu had to suffer their continuous threats. What is even more important is that the Spanish courts have raised the case to the European courts, where UEFA will have to testify on the monopoly of football on the continent “
