Tonight, the twelve founding clubs of the SuperLeague formalized the creation of this new closed competition.
In total, fifteen founding clubs will participate each year in the competition while five clubs will obtain their sporting merit ticket through the championships. The idea of the founders of the SuperLeague is of course to rally PSG, finalist in the Champions League last season and semi-finalist this season, in this major project. A second French club could also be part of the adventure. OM was cited on Sunday but according to information obtained by the Spanish media ABC, it is rather the name of Olympique Lyonnais that is mentioned while Jean-Michel Aulas is close to Florentino Pérez and Andrea Agnelli, the presidents of Real Madrid and Juventus Turin. The news site understands that Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are also courted by the founding clubs to join the adventure.
At the cleat on the subject of the SuperLeague, the journalist Daniel Riolo has other information. For RMC’s insider, only one French club will be part of the permanent clubs of the SuperLeague and it will be PSG. The identity of the second qualified team could vary from one season to another depending on the results in Ligue 1, which would not therefore ensure a permanent place at OL. “Info: unless there is a clear refusal, there will be two French clubs in SL each year. The place will be awarded to the most deserving via the L1. I say that because for the moment PSG have said no. But no one believes they will say no for long. So it would be PSG + 1 which wins its place via L1. If Lille is champion, it is Lille. If OL, it’s OL … “ posted Daniel Riolo on Twitter. Obviously, the surprises promise to be numerous in this SuperLeague file.
