UEFA president is delighted his organization managed to put an end to plans of creating a closed competition for the richest ones
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has concluded that the instantaneous death of the European Super League project - both launched and voided in April 2021 - was the most significant moment of the year.
This was one of the shortest and least efficient revolutions in history! The infamous European Super League, whose establishment was announced as recently as Sunday, causing an actual earthquake in the world of football, reached a total shut down after several clubs decided to withdraw from the project on Tuesday.
Among the founding clubs of this never-to-be-established breakaway competition were: Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United (England), Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid (Spain), Milan, Juventus, Inter (Italy).
However, following a massive public odium, the whole idea ended in a shambles after less than three days. The majority of the clubs pulled out of the business, but they were amnestied of any punishment.
Nevertheless, Ceferin thinks the good won the battle against evil.
"The end of the Super League, driven by the political and popular condemnation of the whole continent, was our most significant and common victory of 2021. The last April's attempt to create a closed Super League, which only aimed to fill the bank accounts of some clubs, threatened the values ​​that lie at the heart of the European sports model and Uefa's mission, "concluded he.
