“If he were president of Madrid, the Superliga would have already left”

The designer of the European Golden Cup, Carlos Garcia PardoYou are seeing these days how your old project takes shape more than 20 years after you came up with it with the audiovisual rights company Dorna, and has stated to Efe that “if 20 years ago he had been the president of the Real Madrid my project would have already come out then “.

Carlos Garcia Pardo believe Florentino Pérez when he argues that the most powerful clubs in Europe are broke, as stated by the president of the Real Madrid last night, and understands that every major competition is already organized the way it is now presented in other sports “such as basketball with the NBA, in cars with the Formula 1 or the motorcycles with Moto GP“, exemplified.

In order to Garcia Pardo It is not a surprise because this “is an issue that has been on the table for a long time” and that, in his opinion, the big clubs were forming by distancing themselves, by budget, from much more modest clubs.

For the expert in sports audiovisual rights, the separation between some clubs and others can already be seen when analyzing the classifications and budgets of the clubs in their local leagues, so the step that Florentino Pérez has announced does not seem scandalous because “with this new league, everyone will continue to play in their national leagues, the only thing that is done is to replace the Champions for another more productive competition and with much more interest, “he assured in an interview with Efe.

Carlos Garcia Pardo He does not believe that the clubs that have already taken the step will be sanctioned by official bodies because “it does much more damage to football if those sanctions they say and the threats they indicate are complied with.”

For the former leader of Dorna, what is happening at the moment is a “battle between the UEFA and an entrepreneurial sense that elite football has, that is why I do not understand that the governments get involved in this matter, because also, legally, it can be set up, “said the Galician businessman.

To argue that the Super league It is possible that Europe has qualified that, when it created its project, a law firm endorsed the legitimacy of the competition with a report that “guaranteed that it can be mounted outside of official institutions.”

Regarding his project and the current one, he assures that in reality “there is no difference, although in my case I already had 16 teams among which was the Ajax, the Port, the PSG“, so he warns that this new competition is not going to be set up” with 12 teams from three countries because it doesn't make sense and I think the UEFA is in a good position to negotiate a way out and make a Champions with more money and with another format “.

Pardo recalled that in Dorna “We did a motorcycle championship negotiating with the International Federation in which in the end it remained within the organization”, so he believes that there is scope to achieve that the UEFA enter the plan Florentino Pérez after a negotiation.
