The betrayal to the Super League will not go unpunished: Pep Guardiola’s team is between a rock and a hard place.
December 21 marked a turning point in the football world with the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union. This body ruled that UEFA holds a monopoly and gave clubs the green light to create a parallel competition entirely organized by them.
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are the main advocates of the Super League project. Florentino Pérez, the main driver of the initiative, is convinced that ending the presidency of Aleksander Ceferin is necessary to save football.
Despite the ruling by the highest institution of justice, many clubs are not willing to join the Real Madrid president and Joan Laporta. Only Napoli has given its approval.
Many English clubs, which initially signed a commitment to carry out the Super League, now reject it due to pressure from their fans who want to continue understanding football as it is now.
It doesn’t come for free Turning their back on the Super League comes at a cost. If the competition goes ahead, entities like Manchester City will have to pay a €300 million compensation. This money will go to the organizing company A22.
Therefore, the betrayal will come at a hefty price. In the coming months, more details will emerge, and those who believe that everything will continue as before may be mistaken. As of today, UEFA is on the ropes.
