Earlier in the week, the sports world was rocked by the news of the creation of the Super League in football, but those plans appear to have failed.

Fines are being issued this season

However, Florentino Pérez, initiator of the Superliga and president of Real Madrid, imagines that football needs a league like the Euroleague in basketball.

“In basketball we live normally, ACB and Euroleague, without problems. The Euroleague was created by teams from Greece, Turkey, Russia … As an example, Bayern also has its own basketball team and participates in the Euroleague”, said Pérez to El Larguero.

The president of the Real has added that the Euroleague has saved the European basketball.

“I am the one who asks, what is happening? Pérez continued. – Is football different? It is important what happened in basketball and nobody complains. The Euroleague has saved European basketball.”
