The Super League is a reality. Following the information this morning about an imminent announcement of the new rival Champions League competition, today UEFA made these rumors practically official with a statement signed together with the English Football Association, the Premier League, the Spanish Federation, LaLiga, the Federation. Italian and the Lega Serie A. The body has manifested forcefully and makes clear that “the clubs in question will not be able to play in any other competition at national, European or world level, and their players could be deprived of the opportunity to represent their national teams.” The complete letter reads like this:
“UEFA, the English Football Federation and the Premier League, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and LaLiga, and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and the Lega Serie A have been informed that some English and Spanish clubs and Italians may be planning to announce the creation of the so-called Super League. Should this happen, we want to reiterate that we –UEFA, English FA, RFEF, FIGC, Premier League, LaLiga, Lega Serie A, and also FIFA and all member associations – we will remain united in our efforts to stop this cynical project, a project that is based on the self-interest of a few clubs at a time when society needs solidarity more than ever.
Soccer is based on open competitions and sports merit. It cannot be otherwise.As FIFA and the six Federations have already announced, the clubs in question will not be able to play in any other national, European or world competitions, and their players could be deprived of the opportunity to represent their national teams. We thank the clubs in other countries, especially the French and German clubs, who have refused to sign up for this. We call on all soccer lovers, supporters and politicians, to join us in fighting this project if it is announced. This lingering self-interest of the few has been going on for far too long. It's enough”.
Bayern and PSG, out of the war
As is clear from this statement, the information that indicates that PSG and Bayern are not part of the project are true. Thus, according to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', in the Nyon offices, UEFA is preparing a judgment worth 50 / 60,000 million euros against the participating clubs, which would be eleven: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Juve, Inter and Milan. Manchester City dances, since some information includes him among those registered and others leave him out. Be that as it may, the war is served.
