Real Madrid, Juventus and Barca not giving up on Super League

Barcelona chief Joan Laporta and Juventus counterpart Andrea Agnelli are the main advocates of the Super League project. Florentino Perez led a group of 12 major European clubs into the project in April 2021 but it was abandoned after pressure from fans and authorities. The project came back to life in July when litigation for an alleged abuse of a dominant position by UEFA was brought to the European Union Court of Justice.

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin criticizes Perez's proposal for a closed league. Agnelli reaffirms his commitment to the project. Laporta prefers an open competition. He thinks that the big clubs always playing each other would be tiring. He also believes that it's healthy and beautiful that a smaller team can beat a bigger team.

UEFA and the European Commission announced the renewal of their cooperation agreement until 2025. UEFA announced a sweeping overhaul of the Champions League in May to start in 2024. The TV rights will be sold for a projected 15 billion euros for three years from 2024 to 2027. Sales of Champions Leagues in the US are up 150 percent. In the UK and France, sales are down. Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi supports the Super League.
