The President of Real Madrid reiterates his desire to set up a Super League

The president of real Madrid reaffirms its commitment to Super League

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reaffirmed his desire to create a new international football competition, the 'Super League', despite the public outcry it caused when it was initially announced last April.

A controversial idea

The idea of ​​this new league comprising Europe's richest clubs has caused an outcry from fans, players and even national governments around the world. Many fear that this new competition will create a closed elite in football, making the game more unfair and less competitive. However, despite this opposition, Perez remains determined to move forward with his project. According to him, it is an economic necessity for the giants of European football. He insists these clubs have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and need new sources of income to survive.

Florentino Perez remains firm

Florentino Perez said: "We still believe in this project, more than ever. The Super League offers an economic solution that would benefit all football clubs, not just the biggest ones. All clubs are struggling economically, we need a long-term solution."

Resistance to the Super League

This is not the first time that Perez has defended the idea of Super League. He was one of the main architects of the initial proposal, alongside Juventus president Andrea Agnelli. However, pressure from fans, national football federations and even UEFA led most of the 12 clubs initially involved to withdraw from the project. However, despite the withdrawal of these clubs, Perez says the Super League is still viable. He insisted football must evolve and adapt to the 21st century, saying the Super League is the way to do this.

The Super League saga continues

The idea of ​​the Super League therefore remains one of the most controversial and divided subjects in modern football. Although fiercely contested by many key players in the industry, the engagement of prominent figures like Florentino Perez means that it remains a proposition that European football will have to continue to confront.
