Manchester City and PSG are the two clubs that are most against the creation of the Super League. The seed of this competition was caused by a poor economic distribution of the benefits generated by the Champions League and the preferential treatment of UEFA in favor of what they considered state clubs, namely PSG and Manchester City. This is how entities such as Bayern, Arsenal, Chelsea, United, Barça, Madrid and Juventus addressed the need to create a new competition that would better defend their rights and equalize them economically. Then, some got off the wagon following Florentino Pérez’s decision to present the project in ‘El Chiringito’ and assuming a role that many considered was not his place. Others continued in the project until the European Court of Justice ruled in favor.

The position of the Premier clubs
As a result of this ruling, several English clubs have shown their satisfaction with the decision because, despite not being able to say it openly, their battle is also to fight against this difference in conditions that Manchester City has. There are two significant details against both clubs. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was never invited to a meeting of the clubs that created the Super League; Manchester City is credited with leaking what was happening within these meetings with the idea of boycotting it.
In this entire scenario that the sentence has left, a golden opportunity is presented for Barcelona to lead this project, because Real Madrid, and especially Florentino Pérez, does not have the sympathies of the English clubs because they consider that he betrayed them at the time. Now Laporta, who does not have the dislike of the big European clubs, can become the leader to unite all these forces and take the Super League to one of the options he has on the table: or found said competition and push it forward or negotiate with UEFA itself so that the clubs themselves have much more power and that the ‘state-clubs’ stop having the protection of the organization (as is happening now with investigations into ‘fair play’ that never go anywhere). The profits would be distributed so that the clubs ended up getting a greater share of the show that the Champions League represents.
This way, The seed that was sown in 2016 can begin to become a reality almost a decade later. The process has been tortuous and complex, but it was fueled in 2020 when UEFA itself refused to help the big clubs at a time when they were going through a serious economic crisis due to Covid, as income decreased significantly.
