UEFA has planned major changes to the format of the Champions League, which would benefit the big clubs, so the establishment of such a “Super League” has become a very painful and unexpected blow for it. President of the organization Alexandras Ceferinas He was particularly disappointed by the behavior of the leaders of Man United and Juventus Turin.
Let’s start with Ed Woodward. He called me last Thursday night and told me that he was very satisfied with the new format and the reforms we were proposing. He just wanted to talk about the rules of financial fairness, although he had obviously already signed another contract at the time. Andrea Agnelli is for me the biggest disappointment of all. I had never seen a man who lied so much. This is incredible. We did not know that the snakes were so close to us. Now we know, ”said A. Čeferinas.
“Andrea Agnelli is the biggest disappointment of all, I have never seen a person who lied so many times, with such persistence as he. It is incredible.”

There is talk that clubs joining this league can be disqualified from national championships and players can be banned from representing national teams. If nothing changes, the European Super League could start next season, significantly weakening the UEFA Champions League. For example, in the current situation, England would delegate clubs like Leicester City, West Ham United, Everton and Leeds United to the Champions League. It is true that giants like PSG, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, who are not among the founders of the new league, can still remain in the Champions League.
