It was more than 600 million for Bar�a and Madrid if they won the Super League

It was more than 600 million for Bar�a and Madrid if they won the Super League : Only a month and a half after being elected president, he gave the go-ahead to the Superleague by signing the accession of Josep Maria Bartomeu at the end of October before resigning. Bar�a was already the founder of the tournament, which could have generated an immediate income of 350 kilos and more than 600 if they had won the Super League, much more than the approximately 100 currently for playing the Champions League. Those are the figures that MD has had access to from sources of the negotiation. Of course, those more than 600 million (almost 650 points out some sources) would win the title and always talking about whether they were Bar�a or Madrid.

European Super League: Ceferin explodes: I have never seen a person who lied so many times | Marca : o many times as persistently as he did. "I spoke to him on Saturday and he said these were only rumours, nothing going on. Then he turned off the phone. Greediness is so strong that all the human values evaporate. it's always good to know in life, who is who. "Super League is only about money, money of the dozen, I don't want to call them dirty dozen, but UEFA is about developing football, and about financing what should be financed, that our football, our culture survives, and some people don't understand it."
