La Liga president Javier Tebas has criticized the presidents of Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid, saying they lie more than Vladimir Putin when it comes to discussing the Super League.
Agnelli is expected to announce a second Super League project during the Financial Times Football Business Summit today. Tebas and UEFA president Alexander Ceferin also attended the morning event and did not hold back when asked about the match that was first unveiled a year ago.
“He [Agnelli] will have to explain it. If he does not explain it, he will lie.”
“A week ago, I think the meeting of the three teams was in his house. Now they say they do not want fixed slots, Real Madrid is saying they do not want the first game. It is false. “It is very difficult for English teams to be part of this competition, so they are creating a European league with two categories and national leagues are the second category,” he continued.
They have become enemies of UEFA and the Premier League, whose growth goes against their model. We know this, we have this information. They may say what they want, but that is what they are working for. Every time I read about them, I think they lie more than Putin, to be honest. They are insisting that the introduction of this will not affect national leagues. We have to be idiots, we have to be dumb. But we all say that this damages the national leagues,” said Tebas.
The original Superleague project was announced in April 2021, but crashed within 48 hours. English clubs were the first to leave the project and were followed by Atletico Madrid, Inter and Milan.
Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid have not officially surrendered and have worked on a second project, which is likely to be presented today. The Serie A and La Liga giants are currently out of the ECA.
