Summary.
On the night of Sunday 18 to Monday 19 April, at midnight sharp, twelve of the biggest European football clubs publish a joint press release.
After months of behind-the-scenes negotiations, they officially announce the creation of the Super League, a tournament exclusively reserved for them.
FC Barcelona against Real Madrid, Juventus against Liverpool… The posters of this future VIP competition should bring them, they hope, more money than the current Champions League.
But less than 48 hours after its launch, the organizers are holding a crisis meeting.
Under pressure from supporters and leaders such as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President Emmanuel Macron, several clubs are withdrawing from the project one by one.
Source code tells of the giant fiasco of the Super League, with Dominique Sévérac and Frédéric Gouaillard from the Parisian sports department.
