Inside two seasons will see the apparition of a new Super Champions League. All after the UEFA and the ECA (European Association of Clubs) arrived to an agreement these days backwards. The clubs, that even proposed desmarcarse of the Champions current and mount a Super European League, have accepted to be still in the competition but with different variants that will favour to the big teams and to the big competitions. But now it will be necessary to see that sucede after the proposal of the Chinese group Wanda that will look for modernizar the competition.
