All you need to know about European super league

The European Super League is an initiative brought in by Florentino Perez who’s the President of Real Madrid CF to “help football at every level and take it to its rightful place in the world," (as said by the man himself). There are also other members and clubs involved too.

AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid & Tottenham Hotspur. According to Sky Sports , these are the teams who have agreed to take part in this proposed European Super League.

What do these teams have in common? simple. They are some of the most popular and well-supported clubs across the likes of England, Spain and Italy. Without these teams, their top domestic leagues (Premier League, La Liga and Serie A respectively) become less lucrative to take part in as a fan, player, manager, etc .

The leagues themselves, FIFA, UEFA and just about every noteworthy football associations under the sun have openly and repeatedly expressed their disapproval of such an idea, to the point where the players taking part in this competition are now facing a very real possibility of never playing in a domestic league, any other European competitions or even international competitions for their national teams ever again, unless they leave the clubs involved in the European Super League.

Now my take on it, I would rather say that the concept of the European Super League has no bearing on football whatsoever.

It creates an enternatinment industry, a reality TV show based on the “football” format. It’s not a sport, and is not intended to be a sport. It’s a formalisation of various “exhibition tournaments” that have happened occasionally in the past. It’s every bit a real as US pro wrestling. There’s going to be physical activity involved, but it will not matter who wins or loses, so it’s not a sport.

I can see people making money off it… but if they’re basing their estimates on the potential of actual sports, they’re going to be very disappointed.

It’s basically Keeping up with the Kardashians with goal posts.
