Super League only way to control state-owned clubs, says Real Madrid president

The Hindu  

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez defended the idea of a European Super League on Saturday, saying it was the only way to enforce tighter financial controls on teams as UEFA's financial fair play model plays into the hands of clubs backed by sovereign states. "It is a project that will at last implement financial controls which are strictly respected and prevent the increasing proliferation of unacceptable situations in which clubs receive indiscriminate financial support from states or other sources," Perez told a Real Madrid general assembly meeting. He also said UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin had given false information to soccer fans to discredit the creation of a European Super League. UEFA began an investigation into Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus over the plan but in June it suspended the process after the European Super League Company SL, set up by the rebel clubs, obtained a court order in Madrid against the probe.
