The topic of the European Super League has been silent for a long time, this football competition initiated by 12 big clubs two years ago, and many clubs announced their withdrawal in just 48 hours, and for a long time only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus three clubs were struggling to support. The reason for this situation is also very simple, if the UEFA Super League is allowed to be held, it will have a huge impact on UEFA, and the value of the Champions League, the trump card project in their hands, will decline, and the income will naturally have an impact, which is absolutely unacceptable to UEFA.
However, as the main initiator of this competition, Real Madrid has never given up on the idea of forming a European Super League. According to a report by Spain**, on the basis of the previous European Super League plan, the new European Super League has gradually taken shape, and in the new European Super League plan, Real Madrid is currently in active negotiations with 50-60 teams to start an open league. The league will be divided into three stages, corresponding to the teams in different rankings, similar to the current format of UEFA Champions League, Europa League and UEFA Europa League, but the ownership will not be in UEFA's hands.
However, it will still have to wait for the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union on December 21 to determine the outcome of the match, and UEFA will certainly not allow European teams to participate in the UEFA Super League project, which would pose a huge threat to their authority. And UEFA's countermeasures are also very clear, just like the previous punishment results for the 12 teams participating in the European Super League, if you participate in the European Super League, you will not be allowed to participate in the competitions formed by UEFA, including the Champions League and the Europa League, which is the main reason why many teams withdrew at that time.
Last season's Manchester City, for example, had an overall revenue of around €100 million in the Champions League, which will be a huge help to the team's operations. In addition, the biggest impact on the Champions League is not the big teams, but the teams of other leagues and clubs in the middle and lower reaches, even if they do not enter the knockout stage of the Champions League, they will receive no less than 20 million euros, and this money will also bring great help to the team. Therefore, UEFA has control over many teams when it controls competitions such as the Champions League and Europa League.
The formation of the European Super League is also in this reason, the giants believe that the Champions League sharing rules are not reasonable, and the huge traffic they bring has not received the corresponding benefits, which is the fundamental reason for the confrontation between the two sides. Judging from the current news, the new European Super League has received 15 billion euros of financial support, and the expected revenue will reach 100 billion euros, and the most important thing is that the distribution rights are not in the hands of UEFA, but in the hands of several big teams in the European Super League.
In addition, according to "World Sports", the reason why Real Madrid and Barcelona are actively forming the European Super League is because they can get 1 billion euros from this competition, and this income is very important for both teams, especially for Barcelona, 1 billion euros will directly change their financial situation and solve the team's financial problems. Although Real Madrid's financial problems are less serious than Barcelona's, 1 billion euros can still bring great help to the team.
