PSG president speaks after Real Madrid announce end of Super Cup project: ‘Football is the winner’ | OneFootball

Last night, Real Madrid officially confirmed the end of the Super League project that aimed to free football from the shackles of UEFA and corporate pressure.

The final nail in the coffin appeared to be Barcelona’s decision to publicly leave the campaign and take UEFA’s side, a development that left Real Madrid as the only standing member in the project.

As a result, Florentino Perez’s ‘dream project’ came to an end and Real Madrid made peace with UEFA and the EFC.

PSG president’s thoughts

Speaking to the media in a recent interview, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and EFC’s representative on the UEFA Executive Committee opened up on his thoughts on the development and credited Florentino Perez for the idea and initiative despite how it ended.

“I thank Florentino Perez, the elegant and intelligent man, the visionary, who always strives to develop and improve things.

“And whoever says or believes that Perez ‘lost’ today is completely ignorant and understands nothing about football,” he added.

He then revealed that he was pleased that the project had come to an end, saying,

“I am immensely proud and delighted. I would like to thank everyone, all the parties involved in this historic agreement.”

Speaking on how UEFA endlessly works towards the betterment of football and will continue to do so even after the closure of the Super League plan, the PSG president said,

“I thank the President of UEFA, who works tirelessly every day for European football, the most intelligent and humble leader.”

Finally, he stressed that no club or individual was a loser in this situation, taking the brunt off Real Madrid and Florentino Perez.

“The most important thing here is that we are all winners, no one is a loser.

“Football is the winner, and that’s what we all wanted. This was the goal we set for ourselves for the good of football and its fans,” he added.
