Why Is Platini Trending?

Three years don’t seem like they have passed since the announcement of a European Super League, and although talk of such a league rapidly fizzled out, it is still being discussed. Football is driven by money more than ever before; mercato prices are at what seems like an all-time high, and the amount of money being tossed around the game is absurd.

Of course, there are advantages to this. As Milan has seen recently, increased interest in the sport raises interest in clubs, which in turn raises the teams’ market value. That being said, it is unlikely that the Rossoneri would ever enter a league of that nature, given that Gerry Cardinale claimed the rivalry.

Super League


Michel Platini gave a verdict to Le Figaro this morning regarding the potential harm that could result from the creation of a “super league” and his thoughts on the direction that football is progressively taking.

Milan News has reported his remarks. “The European Court of Justice’s ruling, which ends FIFA and UEFA’s exclusive rights to competitions, will cause a football explosion. There will be a lot of events, including the Super League. Many people who dislike FIFA and UEFA, like me, call me.

“The wealthiest nations at first were those that played football, had large stadiums, and generated revenue. These days, the nations that wish to invest are the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Insofar as you had to manage the money you could make between your revenue and deficit, financial fair play was beneficial. It’s not the same now.
