“President Florentino Perez full statement on the European Super League
From Real Madrid we welcome with great satisfaction the decision taken by the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is responsible for guaranteeing our principles, values and freedoms.
In the coming days we will carefully study the scope of this resolution, but I do anticipate two conclusions of great historical significance.
First of all, that European club football is not and will never be a monopoly again. And secondly, that from today the clubs will be the owners of their destiny. Clubs see fully recognized our right to propose and promote European competitions that modernize our sport and attract fans from all over the world. In short, today the Europe of freedoms has triumphed again and today soccer and its fans have also triumphed.
Faced with the pressures we have received for more than two years, law, reason and freedom are imposed today. And for this reason, Real Madrid will continue to work for the sake of football.
Just as almost seventy years ago we took a fundamental step in the history of soccer with the creation of the European Cup, today we again have the duty and responsibility to give European football the new impetus it needs so much. And for this, we will continue to defend a modern project, fully compatible with national competitions, open to all, based on sporting merit and that will effectively impose respect for financial fair play. A project that will bring economic sustainability for all clubs and that above all will protect the players and excite fans around the world.
We will do it despite the campaigns we have suffered and that, without a doubt, will intensify from today. But no one said that ending a monopoly after so many decades was simple.
We are facing a great opportunity to improve European club football. A football at the height of the 21st century, with transparent governance, that knows how to live with new technologies and that once again provokes the passion and emotion that fans need.”
UEFA has rejected the proposal and said this statement “This ruling does not signify an endorsement or validation of the so-called ‘super league’, rather it highlights a pre-existing deficit within UEFA’s prior authorization framework, a technical aspect that was already recognized and addressed in June 2022.”
Other clubs have also rejected the proposal,Valladolid , Tenerife, Villarreal, Cadiz, Granada, Levante and Valencia.
The league was also rejected by Laliga, Laliga said the league would make the rich , richer and thousands of people would loose their jobs.
The Super League will have three divisions, those divisions will replace the Champions League,Europa and Conference League. Each team will play 14 matches seven at home and seven away, relegations and promotions will be involved, there will be a league and play offs, 64 teams involved, in three different divisions decided by sporting merit.
