ITV News published this video item, entitled “European Super League ‘spits in the face of football fans’ | ITV News” – below is their description.
Uefa President Aleksander Čeferin said the idea by 12 of Europe’s top clubs to breakaway from their national leagues was a “spit in the face of all football lovers”.
In a bid to discourage players from joining the European Super League, Mr Čeferin said: “The players who will play in the teams that might be playing in the closed league will be banned from playing the World Cup, and so they will not be able to represent the national teams at any matches.”
Issuing stinging criticism to the league’s founding clubs, the Uefa president labelled the idea a “disgraceful self-serving proposal” which has been “fuelled purely by greed”.
