Andrea Agnelli and Florentino Pérez seem to have incurred the wrath of the entire football world. The presidents of Juventus and Real Madrid were the big initiators behind the Super League, which was dissolved barely 48 hours after the announcement. In Italy and Spain there is fierce criticism of Agnelli and Pérez from other clubs, according to the French RMC Sport on.
A Serie A club president, who tells his story anonymously, is demanding sanctions against Juventus and the other eleven clubs behind the Super League. “Today they have lost all credibility on the European scene,” said the anonymous club president. “If you rent an apartment and tear down the whole apartment, you pay for repairs. They can stay in the building, but they should be punished for their malice and greed.”
In Spain, a president of a club from LaLiga opens the attack on Real Madrid’s Pérez. “He has been threatening UEFA for a number of years,” said the anonymous president. Pérez believes he is stronger than everyone else and even UEFA. He believes that without Real Madrid there is no football. He wanted to be the first Super League winner … Well, he could also be the first to win the league, because he will be the only one participating in it. “
The question is whether Agnelli and Pérez will retain their influence on European top football after the Super League fiasco. Agnelli stepped down as president of the European Club Association (ECA) and was succeeded on Wednesday by Nasser Al-Khelaifi from Paris Saint-Germain.
