TORINO – We’re in the final act. Final of Champions Leaguefirst and foremost and chronologically speaking. And then, to follow, the final act of… Of the… Of the what? Of the investigation? Investigation? Feud? Vendetta? Reprimand? Dunno, in short: that stuff there (depending on your point of view) concocted by Uefa of the president Alexander Ceferin towards the Juventus of the then president Andrea Agnelli. Ergo of the Super League, of the “traitorous” clubs. Juventus in the first place. In the beginning it was that press release issued at night (April 19, 2022) by the press offices of the nascent Superlega. Some draft had leaked, more or less, during the day. But Agnelli – also in his capacity as president of the Association of European clubs – had reassured his brotherly friend Ceferin: «Don’t worry, now I’m writing a denial and then I’ll call you back so we can then do a joint intervention». Needless to say, from then on Ceferin was able to communicate only with an answering machine.
The other Superlega press release
To then read another type of press release: «Twelve prestigious European football clubs today jointly announced an agreement to form a new midweek football competition, the Super League, governed by the Founding Clubs. Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham have all joined as Founding Clubs. Three more clubs are expected to join as Founder Clubs ahead of the inaugural season, which is expected to start as soon as possible». Etc. Etc. The 12 friendly clubs at the bar who wanted to change the world, however, soon dwindled to 6, and then again to three: Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus. Ready to assert their rights against a football monopoly in the appropriate legal venues.
