FC Barcelona continues to trust in the Super League, as does Real Madrid, although there are several names in European football who make it clear whenever they can their disagreement with the project, as is the case of Nasser Al-Khelaifi
The Association of European Clubs (ECA), with his president Nasser To the-Khelaifi in command, wanted to show again his disagreement with the Superliga. The also president of Paris Saint-Germain beside the owner of the Athletic of Madrid and member of the direction of the European organism of clubs, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, attended to the press and, as it expected , loaded against the Superliga.
"When I saw me with Joan Laporta in Barcelona said him, when go to stop with the stupidity of the Superliga?", it related with a smile To the-Khelaifi. "For me, the Superliga does not exist. The Champions League is the best competition of clubs of the world. They [Real Madrid and FC Barcelona] are playing it, have confronted us in chambers. I trust that they stop it prompt because it does not have sense", ensured.
To the-Khelaifi and Gil Marín do not want to know at all of the Superliga
Besides, the employer catarí aimed also that "I always have said that the door to go back is opened", explained the president of the PSG on the possibility that the two big Spanish clubs go back to form part of the ECA. Likewise, To the-Khelaifi said "to be proud of the unit of the clubs" of the association, that has reached the figure of 610 members.
"The conflicts in Spain do not benefit to anybody, all the world goes to go out prejudiced, expect that there is unit of the parts interested in the Spanish football. Also it will be good for the European football", ensured. By his part, Gil Marín also has smashed into the Superliga, signalling that "we speak a lot, but out of Spain the Superliga is died. What are defending the ECA, the UEFA and the European leagues is to protect the structure. If you close the door of the competitions to a number of clubs are destroying the dreams of a lot of people", sentenced.
The ECA 'raisin' a bit of what has said the Justice
Of equal way it is necessary to remember that the past December the Court of Justice of the European Union (TJUE) gave the reason to the Superliga after sentencing that the UEFA and the FIFA keep a "dominant abuse of power" in his activities. There it concluded that this situation of monopoly is contrary to the community norms and that the clubs that decide to participate in the Superliga will not be able to be sanctioned.
