MOSCOW, June 22 President of the French football club Paris Saint-Germain Nasser Al-Khelaifi offered the Spanish «Real» to refuse to participate in the Champions League if the club is dissatisfied with the organization of the tournament. Last season, «Real» won the Champions League, beating English «Liverpool» (1:0) in the final. “PSG” lost to the Madrid club in the 1/8 finals on aggregate (1:0, 1:3). “For me, the Super League project is already dead. It turns out strange. Real Madrid deservedly won the Champions League, but, on the one hand, Madrid want to win it, they celebrated the victory for almost a week, and on the other hand, they don't want to participate in it. If you are not happy with something, then you don't have to play. This is the best tournament in the world for everyone. I don't know why the Spanish fans also against this tournament,» said Al-Khelaifi, quoted by Marca. In April 2021, 12 European clubs announced the creation of the Super League. FIFA, UEFA, national associations, representatives of the football community and fans have strongly criticized the idea of a new tournament. All English clubs announced their withdrawal from the project, followed by Inter Milan and Atlético Madrid. Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona remain committed to the idea of the Super League, against which UEFA has opened a disciplinary case for a possible violation of the organization's legal framework in connection with the Super League project.
