Super League suffers major blow, it’s official!

For several years now, the idea of a possible Super League has existed, with FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Juventus as its founding members. However, there has been strong opposition, and little by little, the idea is losing momentum. Thus, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of Paris Saint-Germain and the ECA (European Club Association), announced in his opening speech at the General Assembly that Barça, through its president Joan Laporta, is returning to the Association.

Al-Khelaïfi: “Sometimes friends disagree, it’s normal”

“Today, I would like to welcome a special guest. Sometimes friends disagree, it’s normal, but they always come together for the common good. He has revived his club, both on the field with an exceptional young team and off the field with an outstanding new stadium. The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, joins me, and I wish him a warm welcome to the family. We are all here because football is more than just a job: it is our shared passion, our love. And even though there are differences between us—big clubs, small clubs, different cultures, different stakeholders—these differences should never mean conflict. There is so much conflict in the world today; we have all had enough. It is our duty to build bridges, to bring people together. The power of football is greater than anything, and its unifying power has never been more necessary than it is today.”

These are powerful words, marking an important reconciliation for UEFA and the ECA, with Barça obviously being a major club. Renewing collaboration can only be beneficial. Especially since it pushes the idea of a Super League even further away from resurfacing. Even though, in football, things can always change quickly.

We still prefer this idea of unity and support put forward by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who continues to play an important role in European football and seems to do so with great passion. Let’s hope his tenure will be seen as a success.
