The starting positions of the premier class that arise from the planned expansion of 32 to 36 clubs "should only be awarded and exclusively through the direct qualification of the national leagues," demands the league association. The coefficient regulation, through the evaluation of historical success, two non-qualified clubs should be given access to the Champions League, "an unjustified second chance for some large clubs would be to take part in the Champions League. Access. This is a basic principle of the European sports model that must not be questioned. "
Hellmann's warning and the middle class alliance
Already during the week, Axel Hellmann had warned of a "European football monster", in front of a super league through the back door. "We must not make the economic differences between the Champions League and Europa League bigger," said the spokesman for the Frankfurt Eintracht. The Hesse, who laid the foundation for the move into the Europa League final on Thursday, are apparently part of a medium-sized statement alliance that strives for better networking and lobbying to the industry sizes.
It is certainly no coincidence that both Hellmann and the leagues are now bringing the topic on the agenda. Because immediately before the UEFA Congress in Vienna on May 11, both the Confederation Executive Committee and the Club Competitions Committee (CCC), which is responsible for the design of the competition, will continue to deal with the matter. Spicy: In the CCC, the large club association ECA, which made it clear weeks ago, gives the tone the t1. Various ECA board members sit in the committee. If no nails are made in Vienna, the Executive Committee for the Champions League final in Paris (May 28) could make a decision.
Super League topic at the ECJ
The wildcard proposal and the change of the Champions League to a league system were waved through in April 2021 as a socially acceptable counter-proposal when a dozen clubs dared to the infamous, notorious Super League initiative, which coincided with the violent protest of the fans. At that time, Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin received strong applause because he was able to attempt to break out, supported by the Qatarian CEO of Paris St. Germain and Eca-Boss Nasser Al-Khelaifi, FC Bayern and also Borussia Dortmund. However, Real Madrid, Juventus Turin and FC Barcelona formally hold onto the Super League. In Madrid there will soon be an oral trial, and the Super League topic has also been presented to the ECJ.
However, the royal class reform, which was advised by UEFA, would also have violent consequences, in addition to a competition that was partially participated by Wildcards, a massive increase in the number of games from 125 to 225. New royal class preliminary round. Ten games per club are currently planned.
