Fresh Super League document shows Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus' intent

mirror.co.uk, 2 September 2021, 14:54

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus have not given up hope of relaunching their European Super League project and have hired a major London-based PR firm to boost the plans.

The two El Clasico rivals have become allied over their position on the breakaway plans, which they continue to strongly support alongside that of Italian giants Juve.

The trio have released several joint statements over recent months outlining their continued support of the plans, despite the other nine founding members of the project abandoning the idea.

The Premier League 's so-called 'big six' clubs of Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham all swiftly distanced themselves from the plans after a significant supporter backlash in April.

Italian giants Milan and Inter, alongside Spanish club Atletico Madrid, also confirmed they could no longer support the idea - leaving just three clubs left to cheerlead for it.

None of Madrid, Barca nor Juve will be present for the European Club Association a body representing the interests of professional association football clubs in UEFA - meeting in Geneva on Monday.

They remain outside the association due to their proposals promoting a de facto breakaway project from UEFA, alongside their Champions League and Europa League competitions.

The trio of clubs have now hired major PR firm Flint to help up clean up the image of the idea and to create a sellable product that will not receive the criticism that the plans were subjected to when launched in April.

Flint have put together a presentation document entitled: "Paving the way to the Super League; strategies for reconstruction, the restart and the triumph."

The PR firm are now set to engage in a major campaign which will portray UEFA as an "abusive monopoly" whilst portraying the Super League plans as the only alternative that can save the sport.

Should the Super League founding clubs have faced a harsher punishment? Comment below

Due to the backlash the project received less than five months ago and that all other nine founding member clubs have entirely disassociated themselves from the plans, it remains unlikely that such a campaign would be able to attain any breakthrough.

The ECA is now under the leadership of Paris Saint-Germain owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and has accepted the six 'rebel' Premier League clubs back into their ranks following their backtracking on the Super League.

None of those six clubs have yet to be readmitted into their committee positions within the body - a sign that not all has been forgiven among the major players of European football.

None of the clubs involved in the project faced any expulsion or sporting punishment following their involvement in the breakaway plans.
