Manchester City football club coach Pep Guardiola has criticized the closed format of the proposed European Superliga (ESL), saying it was not a sport as long as success was guaranteed. His employer is one of the twelve founding members of the competition.

“Citizens” are heading for it along with Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham of England. From Spain, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are among the twelve, complemented by three Italian clubs, Juventus Turin, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

The proposed Superliga model guarantees an automatic seat for each year for twelve teams and another three, which should be added to the founding members in the coming period. This will eliminate participation uncertainty and risks, in particular related to finances.

“It’s not a sport when there is no connection between effort and reward. It is not a sport when you have guaranteed success in advance. It’s not a sport when it doesn’t matter if you lose. It is not fair if one team fights, fights and fights, gets to the top, but then does not qualify, as the place is guaranteed only a few clubs. People say that five more teams can advance there, but what if these fifteen teams have a bad season, but they stay in the competition. It’s not a sport, “ stated Guardiola.
