The years go by, and the Super League continues to be talked about. Launched in 2021 by the company A22 Sports Management, the project has still not seen the light of day in Europe. Which has the gift of annoying Real Madrid. The club chaired by Florentino Perez was one of the fervent supporters of this initiative, which came to compete with the current Champions League, and therefore UEFA.
Four years later, the Super League is in decline. This is also evidenced by the declarations of Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, ​​during a congress of the European Football Clubs on October 8.
“As Barcelona, ​​we are in favor of the pacification of European football. What we want is an agreement and a return to UEFA. »
But Real has not said its last word. According to the Spanish press, and in particular A.S.the White House and A22 are preparing a complaint against UEFA. With the key, a check for several billion euros demanded from the European governing body.
4.5 billion euros
This is the expected amount for damages after several months of negotiations, according to the Iberian newspaper. Estimates issued by Real Madrid officials, convinced that the body has not “never intended to reach an agreement, but only to buy time to prevent the establishment of the Super League”continues A.S..
A22 and the capital club are optimistic about the final outcome of this matter. In fact, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) established a judgment in December 2021 according to which “FIFA and UEFA rules on the prior authorization of club football competitions, such as the Super League, violate Union law for abuse of a dominant position and hindering competition in the market. »
