It's been a long time coming, but late in the day, Real Sociedad has made public its position on the creation of a future Super League closed outside the current Champions League. And as expected, it is totally contrary. It is no surprise, its president has already spoken publicly on more than one occasion with very clear and blunt arguments. “Real Sociedad adheres to the statement issued by UEFA, RFEF and LaLiga and expresses its rejection given the decision by a group of European clubs to create the so-called European Super League ”, begins the statement made public by Real Sociedad.
Then explain the arguments for your position. “From Real Sociedad we consider that this is not the way and that it is a detrimental decision for European football. Real Sociedad shares and defends the current model by which any club, Based on your sporting achievements, you can compete in an international competition on your own merits”. And it ends with a very clear wish on this matter. “We trust that between all parties, UEFA, RFEF, LaLiga and the clubs, we will manage to redirect this situation for the good of football and of all the fans ”.
The position of the Royal with this controversial issue is not new. Jokin Aperribay has already said on more than one occasion that the club he presides over cannot be in favor of this Super League. “I don't know what a European league that excludes teams of which they are fans is going to contribute to football fans. And on top of that they weaken the national leagues. I don't see anything clear about this competition, because I think that the best way to qualify for European competitions is to win it on the field of play in the previous year, and not establish previously closed clubs. Nobody knows which are the good games and the bad ones. And I think that a Real Sociedad fan is not going to be more fond of football because they believe in the Super League., which is not created with the fans in mind ”, thinks the manager of Barra.
