The President of the European Football Union (UEFA), Alexander Cheferin, emphasized that he had no problems with Real Madrid, despite the fact that the Spanish club continued to play an important role in the attempt to create a continental Super League. He stated this in an interview with the Slovenian website 24ur.com.
“I have no problems with Real Madrid, of course. I’m not in contact with the club’s management at the moment, but Real Madrid’s presence in the Champions League final is proof of how clean the UEFA competitions are. ” said Ceferin.
He also reminded that another Spanish club, FC Barcelona, which also supports the aforementioned Super League, will present itself in the finals of the Women’s Champions League on Saturday, May 21. “No one intervened.” said a 54-year-old native of Ljubljana.
In connection with the idea of a “splinter” Superliga, Čeferin noted that the debate on this topic would take place exclusively in the courtroom. “The time will come when these things will be clarified, but it will certainly not be on the field,” he added.
Before next week’s final of the Men’s Champions League between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid, which will take place at the Stade de France in Paris, he refused to make a prognosis regarding the future European Cup number one champion. However, he was full of praise especially for the two “white ballet” players. “They have the miraculous Karim Benze, whom I have said many times that I think is one of the most underrated players in the history of football. And Luke Modric … The older he gets, the better. “ Cheferin stated.
He also appeared during the controversial statements of Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp on the distribution of tickets for the LM finals. “I called him because I was angry at his remarks. Now he understands. He admitted that he did not have good information and regrets that he made those statements. ” finished by Alexander Ceferin.
