I recently saw a piece of news from World Sports that really made me both excited and worried. The new European Super League (UEFA Super League) could be coming, and that's big news for fans like me. It is said that if this new European Super League is approved, the two giants Barcelona and Real Madrid will receive up to 1 billion euros!It's incredible to think about.
The key behind this news is the upcoming ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union on December 21. The teams in the new European Super League are looking forward to the ruling, especially Barcelona and Real Madrid. The investment behind this project is as high as 15 billion euros, which can be said to be a lot of money. Moreover, investors will receive 15% of the profits, and the remaining 85% will be distributed among the teams. It sounds like this money will solve the financial problems of Barcelona and Real Madrid once and for all.
But I have to say that this is also a huge change for us ordinary fans. First of all, for teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, 1 billion euros is an absolute astronomical amount. Not only will it help these clubs solve their existing financial woes, but it will also bring them greater competitiveness in the transfer market. But at the same time, I wondered if this would exacerbate the "wealth gap" in the football world
Looking at the situation of Real Madrid, whose financial situation is similar to that of Barcelona, they need such an injection of funds. If the UEFA Super League doesn't work, they may have to find another way out. And for this upcoming ruling, UEFA and La Liga are clearly on the opposite side. They insist on their right to organise their own competitions, but if the ruling is in the EU's favour, that will change.
Paris president Al-Nasser is also preparing for a possible unfavourable ruling, which shows that the opponents of the European Super League are not giving up. They are collecting support from other teams to show their loyalty to UEFA. But on the other hand, if the European Super League is established, it will no longer be a castle in the air. Real Madrid, as the main promoter, will definitely continue to push forward with this plan.
As a regular football fan, I'm a little ambivalent about all of this. The new European Super League is likely to bring a new game experience and a higher level of matchups, but at the same time, it could lead to a further fragmentation of the football world. In any case, we are all waiting for the verdict on December 21. This is not only a decision on the future of the two clubs, but also a major judgment on the future direction of the entire football world.
