The Wave Of European Super League Rejections Is Starting To Flow

Chelsea supporters protested against the appearance of the European Super League (doc. The Sun).

JAKARTA - European Super League (ESL) or the European Super League is back to life. This follows the European Union Court's decision to reject FIFA and UEFA to ban ESL from rolling.

The European Union Court said FIFA and UEFA acted against competition law because there was an attempt to monopolize football.

After the decision was issued by the European Union Court, ESL officials consisting of Florentino Perez (President of Real Madrid), Juan Laporta (President of Barcelona), and Bernd Reichart as CEO of ESL immediately announced the new format of the European Super League.

This immediately gave birth to a wave of counters, both from clubs in Europe and their supporters.

The hardest opposition has indeed emerged from England. Their refusal attitude is accompanied by a withdrawal from ESL if they plan to be rolled out again.

Manchester United openly refused. Instead, they dared to emphasize the attitude of the European Super League.

"Our position has not changed. We remain fully committed to participating in the UEFA competition, and establishing positive cooperation with UEFA, the Premier League, and fellow clubs for the continuation of European football development."

Bayern Munich has three money. They clearly closed the door for ESL.

"It's very clear: the door to the European Super League at FC Bayern is still closed."

"Such competition will represent attacks on the importance of the domestic league and statistics of European football."

In fact, UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin also expressed his disapproval on his personal X account.

"Football is not for sale," Ceferin wrote on X.

Furthermore, Caferin insinuated that ESL please roll with two clubs (Real Madrid and Barcelona) because so far no one has been interested.

"I hope they start the competition as quickly as possible with the two clubs."

"I hope they know what they're doing, but I'm not so sure. Football is not for sale," Ceferin said.

Meanwhile, the refusal of a number of clubs to make supporters in the UK in particular is increasingly launching a wave of protests against the re-emergence of ESL.

"RIP (rest in peace) football as we know it."

"Then, football will be destroyed."

"We fans still don't want the bad league."

Those were the comments of England football supporters summarized by The Sun.

However, it seems that English football fans don't have to worry about their clubs joining the ESL.

You see, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his government have pledged to stop clubs from participating in ESL competitions that he thinks will shut down domestic competitions.

In fact, the decision of the European Union Court is only in the realm of violating competition laws by FIFA and UEFA.

The ruling did not state that ESL was valid for rolling out or obtaining approval from the European Union Court.

"That doesn't mean that competitions like European Super League projects should be approved."

"The court, after being asked in general about the FIFA and UEFA regulations, did not decide on the specific project in its assessment," reads the European Union Court's decision at The Sun.
