The plans for a European 'Super League' seem to be more and more serious, with apparently an agreement between teams to start in 2021, basically ending the Champions League (or at least the importance of it). Of course it's not going to be a competition for which one can qualify, but only for the super duper elite (based on history I guess, since even mediocre AC Milan is in).

 

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern, Chelsea, Arsenal, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Liverpool and AC Milan are the main teams, with Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Olympique Marseille, Inter Milan and AS Roma getting 'guest spots'.

 

Horror show if this actually happens.

 

History and money.

Football Leaks: UEFA helped PSG & Man City cover up FFP fraud.

https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/ligue-1/football-leaks-uefa-helped-psg--man-city-cover-up-ffp-fraud-7125566

 

From Der Spiegel: "UEFA arranged secret settlements with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain that allowed the clubs to cheat its own Financial Fair Play rules by hundreds of millions of euros, a new investigation by EIC Network can reveal".

"Senior UEFA administrators, including the ex-secretary general and current FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, personally intervened to encourage settlements with big clubs, while the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB), the UEFA department that investigates rule breaches, aggressively pursued poorer clubs in the likes of Turkey and Romania.”

@MHSN I'm watching a very low quality stream of Persepolis - Kashima that started a few minutes ago, but even all the graphics are in I think Arabic or something, which is hard. So, am I correct in saying Persepolis is the orange team and Kashima is white?
