Juve is one of the initiators European Super League, whose initial participants were 12 well-known clubs from England, Italy and Spain. Ironically, the Bianconeri don’t have much to say about it Champions of La Liga this season.
Juventus, along with Barcelona and Real Madrid, are the three clubs that continue to insist on organizing the European Super League in place of the Champions League, which is currently rumored to have started to lose appeal.
The European Super League is considered more attractive to the public because it features a duel between great teams in every match, unlike the Champions League which is still full of “duel between mediocre teams” in the group stage.
But the pioneers (including Juventus) faced opposition from many parts of Europe, who saw the European Super League as just a way to perpetuate financial inequality in world football.
The bianconeri, who are going through financial problems, would also be willing to use the European Super League as a shortcut to earn a lot of money to return to competing in the top flight.
It’s just that the “arrogance” of Juventus, which is highly regarded as one of the great clubs in Europe, is not followed by good results in the Champions League. This has been reflected in recent years.

In the last three seasons, Juventus have never gone beyond the last 16 of the Champions League. Unfortunately, the Bianconeri were effectively eliminated by the unseeded who they believed were not part of the European elite.
Lyon, Porto and Villarreal subsequently eliminated Juventus in the round of 16 of the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons. Especially this season, they have been eliminated in the group stage after losing to Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica (twice) and Maccabi Haifa.
Four defeats in five group stage games so far have given Juventus even the worst season of its participation in the Champions League. How could such a team consider themselves worthy of joining the elite European Super League?
