PSG news: Paris Saint Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has criticized Los Blancos for celebrating their Champions League victory, even after proposing a European Super League.
While speaking at the 28th General Assembly of the European Club Association, the PSG president criticized Real Madrid’s position. Despite the threat of sanctions from UEFA, Madrid, along with Barça and Juve, continue to support the European Super League. In the end, nine of the original 12 charter clubs withdrew their names from the project in October 2021.
A feud between Madrid and PSG has been going on for a long time. It all started when Real wanted to sign Neymar from PSG at a reduced price.
Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was not ready to let go of the most expensive player in the world at the time.
During the 28th General Assembly of the ECA (European Club Association), the president, Nasser al-Khelaïfi, did not miss the opportunity to attack the team with the most Champions League in the History of World Football.
According to Foot Mercato, he said: “It is strange that Real Madrid is celebrating winning the Champions League. It is very rare that you go against the competition, but you participate and celebrate having won the title. I think it’s really weird, to be honest. But we are not going to waste time on this and we are going to continue working.”
The PSG hierarchy are unimpressed by the brilliant display of Real Madrid’s Champions League run last season. The Paris club also used all their power to keep their superstar Mbappe in the club.
The president of the ECA and PSG, Al-Khelaifi, accused Real Madrid of being double-faced and criticized the Spanish club’s “infamous” Super League project.
bitter defeat for the whites
Last year, Los Blancos broke PSG’s heart by beating them 3-2 on aggregate in the Champions League round of 16. After spending heavily on the transfer market, PSG are desperate to dominate in Europe by winning the Champions League. While Real Madrid have won the Cup 14 times, twice as many as any other club in the competition’s history.
Pérez’s European Super League
In April 2021, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, with the joint effort of the other major European clubs from Spain, England and Italy, launched a private competition project for Europe’s elite clubs. It was called Super League. Bayern, Dortmund and PSG refused to join them.
In October 2021, most clubs abandoned the project due to fan protests and threats from UEFA. Real Madrid, Barça and Juve are still part of this project. Florentino Pérez and Andrea Agnelli are still looking for another boost.
