Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to help the idea of the European Super League, although this continues to cause controversy. The controversial competition was thwarted four years ago in the first attempt, but the two La Liga giants are determined to ensure that it flourishes.
However, the Super League has received a lot of negative feedback and one of the greatest critics is Javier Tebas, president of La Liga. He spoke against it again during an interview with El Pais (via Relevelo), in which he focused mainly on Real Madrid Chief Florentino Perez.
“The first is to make it very clear who is behind it, what it seems that they never want to say: it is Florentino Perez. We have to show our faces. The second, it is not serious that we have three sizes in three years. We can't talk about saving football, as President Perez said, and doing this. It is also very unhealthy to present a format that does not speak about governance. Or the television model: one day everything is free, another day it is hybrid, another day I don't know what it's like … This looks like a circus.
“It's very serious. If it was viable, which is not viable. That hurts, because imagine: during the week, free football. And did the National League paid football during the weekend? Do you think that free football would be viable for everyone in Spain? Isn't it? I am sure that the damage destroyed. More than saving football, that mission that it seems that Real Madrid came to destroy it. “
A22 is the company that is now in charge of the Super League, and they have presented several proposals for the competition in the last 12 months. They, just like Real Madrid and Barcelona, remain convinced that their dreams will become a reality at some point, although that looks difficult.
