The Spanish executive still believes there will be a breakaway competition to replace the “obsolete” Champions League
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reiterated he thinks the Super League could “save football”, while adding that he believes the near-universal backlash the plan was received was because it was “presented badly”.
Perez is at the head of the push to form a Super League, which has crumbled in the days since its announcement due to the withdrawals of the six English clubs, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.
However the Real boss, who has been the subject of criticism from La Liga chief Javier Tebas, remains committed to the idea of a Super League and says he still believes it could be exactly what football needs in the wake of economic hardships caused by and predating the coronavirus pandemic.
