For several years now, Europe's big teams have been pondering the possibility of establishing their own league.

Super League, which will provide a stage for the best and richest.

This is their big dream, but also FIFA's big nightmare, which is afraid from the moment such a league will rise and take the place of the Champions League.

The idea, which is backed by a number of leading leagues, is likely to be implemented during 2022, when Jordi Bartomeu, the resigning president of Barcelona, ​​has already claimed that the Spanish league has given its consent to the promotion of the Super League.

In England, too, the top teams are enthusiastic about the idea, but there are those who fear it will be at any local cost.

"Leagues in Europe are not able to compete economically in the Premier League so they want to set up the Super League, which could ruin the English league," warns Arsene Wenger.

The former Arsenal manager does not understand the enthusiasm of teams such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham.

"The Premier League is in danger, it will lose its supremacy," he is sure.

"If the Super League gets the consent of the English teams then it will be able to get going," Wenger adds, "but it's just a way to help big team owners from across Europe make more money, and erase the economic benefit of English football."

The Super League is supposed to contain a maximum of 18 teams, which will compete against each other throughout the European season, and of course we will have eliminated the Champions League.

Currently, JP Morgan, the banking giant, is willing to invest £ 4.6 billion out of the £ 6 billion needed to set up the new league.
