FC Bayern Munich is to plan a European Premier League together with other European heavyweights.

Spain's league president thinks the idea is destructive.

  • FC Bayern Munich *

    : The

    Bundesliga record champions *

    should

    think

    about a European

    Premier League

    together with

    Liverpool FC

    ,

    Manchester United

    and other clubs

    .

  • In this

    super league

    , around five billion euros are to be distributed.

    The start could be in 2022.

  • UEFA is

    not very enthusiastic

    about an

    alternative to the Champions League

    - the national leagues are also fighting back.

FC Bayern and Co. in a Super League?

"It just looks good in a bar at 5 a.m."

In a statement, the

Continental Football Association commented

on the plans for a new super league: "The UEFA President has made it clear on many occasions that he is strongly against a super league," a spokesman told the

BBC

, which was not surprising

.

After all, no less a person than the world governing body

FIFA should

promote such considerations in order to develop new sources of income.

#HelloHello you just can't get your neck full.

Your greed will ruin the soccer we love!


5 billion euros!

FIFA itself is keeping a low profile, but at least the question of financing seems to have already been specified: The Wall Street bank JP Morgan is reportedly responsible for

monetizing the competition

.

Aside from UEFA, the national leagues have little interest in a new Super League either.

Javier Tebas, President of Spain's

La Liga

, also made a

clear statement

on the

BBC

:

“The originators of this idea show a total ignorance of the organization and customers of European and global football.” Tebas predicts enormous economic damage - also for the clubs themselves - and expresses a lack of understanding: “These underground projects only look good if you think about them in the morning

at 5 a.m.

in a bar

. "

Bayern, Liverpool and Manchester United soon in a European Premier League?

Original message from October 20:

Is there a risk of a mega-row in international football?

Several top clubs around

FC Bayern Munich

*

,

Jürgen Klopps FC Liverpool

and

Manchester United

are allegedly planning a

European Premier League

very intensively

.

Namely under the umbrella of the world association Fifa.

The European

Uefa

, however, should be left out.

The

sports buzzer

writes on Tuesday

evening

and refers to a corresponding report from

Sky Sports

.

Accordingly, the clubs involved should currently push ahead with the plans.

The ideas would include a distribution of

five billion euros

, it is said.

Up to 18 teams should take part in the

Super League

.

The mode therefore provides for return games.

It is not just this fact that is likely to cause great trouble.

Finally, an appropriate competition would be the

Champions League

the

UEFA

devalue.

And: Most recently, the CEO of

FC Bayern

*

,

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge

, repeatedly affirmed that he

would remain loyal to

the

German Bundesliga

*

.

FC Bayern in the European super league?

The reaction of the German Bundesliga would be exciting

Whether a

European Premier League would be

in the interests of the

German Football League (DFL)

, however, should be an exciting question.

According to

Sky Sports,

the new league could start

in 2022.

In the meantime, the Bayern bosses are concerned with another topic: Serge Gnabry has tested positive for the corona virus.
