This Sunday a new General Assembly took place on the Real Madrid side. In front of the Socios, Florentino Perez took the opportunity to give a firm speech, especially when it came to talking about UEFA. The Merengue president did not go out of his way to reiterate his state of mind towards the governing body of European football.
“We are not against everything, but we oppose what is illegal or unethical. »
It is in these terms (reported by Marca) that Florentino Perez began the chapter of his speech devoted to UEFA. At the origin of the Super League a few years ago before the project was a resounding flop at the very moment of its creation, the manager maintains real resentment on the subject.
“It is not normal for UEFA to try to dictate our fate and impose competition formats on us that harm fans. No one can sanction us. The clubs are free, as the latest decision of the Madrid Commercial Court affirmed (Spanish justice confirmed at the end of October 2025 “abuse of dominant position” of UEFA following the legal action launched by A22 Sports against the European football body, editor’s note). »
Florentino Perez still wants his Super League
And the boss of “Casa Blanca” continues.
“We have two rights: the right to compensation for damages worth billions of euros and the right to organize our own competition, and I assure you that we will exercise both. » Florentino Perez is therefore more determined than ever to relaunch the Super League, whatever the format.
Finally, he complained that UEFA forces clubs to play matches in the four corners of the world. “Remember that UEFA leaders are accountable to their voters. This is why we are forced to play matches in Asia or near China. It is not normal that in the 21st century attending football matches is becoming more and more expensive. »
