You have to come up with THIS idea first!
The Italian sports newspaper “Gazzetta Dello Sport” suspects that Uefa could prefer the English to the Italians in the European Championship final. Reason: England’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson (57) is considered the man who prevented the Super League.
As a reminder: Twelve of the largest clubs founded the Super League in April 2021, which was to take place as a largely closed league with 20 teams. It would have been the end of the UEFA Champions League.
In addition to the fans, some players and the associations, there was also criticism from politics. Boris Johnson was very clear at the time: “The plans are harmful to football.”
His government announced that it would do everything possible to prevent the introduction of the Super League. Due to the massive pressure, most of the clubs left the project in April.
The European association now wants to reward the English for this, suspects the “Gazzetta”. Especially since with Juve boss Andrea Agnelli (45) one of the biggest supporters of the Super League is Italian …
The article picked up by the English newspaper “The Sun” now says: “Johnson is in the history books as the man who saved European football. A reward would only be logical. “
The Italians see the gift of penalty for England in the semi-finals against Denmark (2: 1) as proof of their theory.
With regard to the final it says: “Roberto Mancini (Coach of the Italians / d.Red.) has to consider two things: the strength of the opponent and the political winds that blow over Wembley. “

Update: The “Gazzetta Dello Sport” was probably not very comfortable with your own article. In the meantime it has disappeared from the homepage.
