The European Super League has lost with the preliminary hearing of the ECJ, but there are no ‘good guys’ involved in this whole sordid conversation. twoht

The first half of the 2022/23 season has hardly been a great advertisement for the European Super League. Most obviously, the ‘Super’ aspirations of both Barcelona and Juventus have hardly been helped by their teams crashing through the floor of the Champions League and into the Europa League in the group stages. Barcelona only took one point from four games against Bayern Munich and Inter.
For all the bullishness of these three clubs, the notion that this league will happen seems further away than ever. After all, quite asides from the court-related legalities of it all, why on earth would anyone want to join a sporting body, two-thirds of which have had the sort of autumn that they have? And even if there were club owners who might overlook this, further obstacles remain.
Similarly, German clubs are likely to continue to refuse to be involved, and with Nasser Al-Khelaifi of PSG being pretty much the sworn enemy of Real Madrid and head of the European Club Association it doesn’t seem likely that the French champions would be getting involved either. And at this sort of point, it’s worth asking which clubs that would give a European Super League much credibilityBut we shouldn’t start thinking of UEFA as being anybody’s knights in shining armour.
