Real Madrid President Adamant European Super League Is Not Dead

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has insisted that the European Super League plans is not dead despite many teams withdrawing from the initiative.

Perez says the formation of the Super League has been put on hold and its founding members are still on course of making it possible.

Twelve European clubs agreed to form a competition that would rival the UEFA Champions League towards the end of last week.

The traditional Premier League ‘big six’ opted to discontinue with idea of the breakaway competition after it received a lot of backlash from fans and football personalities.

Other clubs like AC Milan, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid followed the English sides’ decision to leave the Super League and many have opined that the course is done and dusted, but Perez is adamant that the initiative is just on hold but not dead.

“We are going to keep working,” Perez told Spanish radio program El Larguero. “We are looking for ways of getting this done. It would be a shame not to get it done.”

He added: “They haven’t left,” the Madrid president said. “We are all still together, thinking of ways of making this happen.”

“Each president was prepared to speak, but then the next day we got killed” he said. “We weren’t expecting it. It was like we had launched an atomic bomb. It looked like that they already knew about it and were waiting for us.”
