Lately, the world football money moguls held a strong meeting about the so-called European super league with the intent to stand such as the world football major league like world cup and the Champions League.
This, however, emerged successful as almost 60 clubs applied for the league and shaded the glory of the Champions League and World Cup.
Clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham have all signed up for the Super League, along with Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan from Italy and Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
This will so far intel that the income most Clubs make in the Champions League and World Cup will be a low commodity alongside other football activities.
In reaction, the UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin announced publicly his plan over the newly approved league as he outlined that it will be banned as soon as possible.
In his words, he said;
“We’re still assessing with our legal team but we will take all the sanctions that we can and we will inform you as soon we can,”
“My opinion is that as soon as possible they have to be banned from all our competitions and the players from all our competitions.”
He also added that the clubs involved in the competition will be banned from participating in all UEFA Leagues as it trends. This in reality also means that Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid will be eliminated from the UEFA Champions League having secured their place in the semi-finals.
Top players like Mesùt Ozil, Garry Neville and Andy Herrera also led their voice against the league as follows.
“Kids grow up dreaming to win the World Cup and the Champions League – not any Super League. The enjoyment of big games is that they only happen once or twice a year, not every week. Really hard to understand for all football fans out there”_ Mesut Ozil.

“This lot think they can sweep up £300m more each season than the other teams and then wander back on a Saturday and play with that advantage in the PL . Deduct points , fine heavily and embargo transfers. I hope they haven’t bought some of the other 14 clubs”
