As a spectator-supporter, all the top teams in Europe will compete in a different competition. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester United, PSG will always be seen in that league. This league will do what the Champions League cannot do. Will face all the big teams in Europe at least once in the same season.
The strikers of the big football clubs are dreaming of such a league. It is currently being called the 'European Super League'.It has been heard for so long that 16 clubs have shown interest in playing in this league. And to be busy in such a tournament means to say goodbye to the Champions League. After playing in domestic leagues and this league, it is difficult to put anything else on the schedule.
Many whispers have been heard about this for so many days. This time La Parisien has brought out some inside news of this league. According to the French newspaper, all the top teams are looking forward to playing in this tournament.The amount of money involved in this tournament, the clubs can enter the field despite the threat of FIFA. And not the Champions League, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar will be seen in this rebellious league.
In the world of sports, the issue of rebel league has been seen in the interest of cricket. The World Cricket Series was born out of a conflict over TV rights in the eighties. That tournament changed cricket by inviting all the best players of the time and taking off their colorful attire. The series, which was born out of Carrie Packer's personality struggles, was so influential that the big stars played despite the ICC ban.
The ICL also gave birth to such a TV rights conflict. G Sports also had to be rejected with repeated offers of more money in the auction to show India's matches. In response, they launched a T20 league called the Indian Cricket League or ICL. By joining the tournament, many cricketers were threatened with international careers. Cricketers like Aftab Ahmed from Bangladesh were banned for 10 years.Although the ICL failed in the end, it forced the Indian Cricket Board to rethink domestic cricket and increase the opportunities for players.
Cricket's two rebel leagues have had a long-term positive impact on the game. But it would be wrong to expect anything like that from the rebel league of football. According to La Parisien, the Super League will be with 20 teams, not 16 teams. The number of permanent teams is 15. In other words, these 15 teams will always be in this league. The remaining five teams will be invited each season.
FIFA has warned that clubs and their players that play in this alternative tournament will not be allowed to play in any of the tournaments hosted by FIFA and its continental affiliates. Those clubs will be banned, those players will be banned. This means that these players will no longer be seen in tournaments like Euro, Copa America, Asia Cup, African Nations Cup and World Cup!
It remains to be seen which 15 teams want to play in the tournament, why UEFA and FIFA are taking it so seriously, why they are threatening to ban it in advance. Spain has three of the 15 teams — Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. There are also three places from Italy - Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan. Two influential teams from Germany, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will be here. And PSG will come from French league.
Six teams will come from England! Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. In other words, the big six teams of England will be here. If 15 such teams withdraw from the Champions League, then why the fuss over the Champions League?
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and Juventus president Andrea Agnelli are the most interested and no one should object to the money they are offering. "Five clubs will be invited each season," La Parisienne said. There will be a play-off at the end of this league of 20 teams. The top six teams will receive কোটি 350 million this season. That's a big amount, the current Champions League winner can expect to earn around 80 million euros. '
It is also not certain that a team gets 80 million euros if it wins the Champions League. Because, the Champions League gives prize money keeping in mind the development of every region of Europe. The income from this tournament depends on many things. In 2016, the champion Real got eight crore Euros. Meanwhile, runners-up Juventus got 11 crores. The prize money was split as Spain had more teams in the knockout stages of the Champions League. On the other hand, they got more share of money from Italy only because of Juventus.And the smaller leagues and teams get grants from the Champions League revenue. It's good for football, but why would big clubs accept it? Even if it is a thousand, most of the TV rights come from them. So everyone is agreeing to a tournament to keep their income to themselves.
Perez and Agnelli believe that the top 15 teams in the tournament will be able to earn more than the Champions League. "These 15 groups will share core 400 million," the Parisian report said. Although it is not clear where the money will come from. UEFA earns 325 crore euros by organizing their three tournaments.
The idea of this super league was created in 2012. But not everything was being arranged. All the big clubs have suffered financially during the Corona period. And that’s why they are desperate to host this Super League, ‘The main purpose is to rise above the successes and failures of the game and ensure a secure income. According to Agnelli, the president of Juventus, this health crisis could reduce the income of European clubs from 750 to 850 million euros.
PSG has the best ability to cope with the corona in Europe. Owned by a Qatari state-owned company, they never had to worry about money. UEFA has not found anything suspicious, despite repeated calls from other European teams about their earnings. But PSG cannot find a reason for not agreeing to such a proposal to be part of the top 15 teams. According to the French newspaper,PSG does not want to name itself directly in this project. Nasser Al Khelaifi is a member of the LG Council and UEFA Executive Committee. It is difficult for him to say anything publicly about such a project. But PSG never objected to their name appearing in the project. Because it's working for them. "
Parisien claims that having a name in the Super League in this way means that even the elite clubs in Europe are accepting that PSG is one of the best. While they have not yet tasted European superiority, the team is happy that others are now realizing that they are dominant in terms of audience demand.Parisien claims that having a name in the Super League in this way means that even the elite clubs in Europe are accepting that PSG is one of the best.
