The project of the Superliga begins to appear and now lacking for seeing the steps that go to give, but as it has said the president of the Real Madrid, Florentino Perez: "The football needs a change and the Real Madrid goes to be here to promote it". After these words the foundations and the structure of the football, as we have it conceived up to now, have begun to shiver.

Varied of the main European clubs carry time moving in search of a system and a competition that can fulfil with the expectations that mark . They consider that the fan to the deport king sues more than give them to it now and think that the economic argument also is of his side.

To the moment to separate of the presidency of the Catalan club, Josep María Bartomeu, recognised that the Barcelona had assisted to the foundational record of the project of the Superliga, although for the moment the current directive has not said if it also backs the proposal. By his part, Florentino Pérez, during the Assembly of compromisarios madridistas, has been rotundo without pronouncing the word Superliga.

"We are in front of a calendar masificado that prejudices to the fans that do not know many times which competition is playing , to the equal that to the health of the footballers that suffer a lot of injuries.

It will initiate next summer and it does not expect that it change at all further of the apparition of the Continental League.

The format proposed

For the year 2024 speaks of liguillas of six, of a possible second phase also in groups or direct clashes from eighth of final, attending to a global classification of these liguillas. Said changes will increase the number of parties, but is not what look for these teams that are behind these first movements for the creation of a Superliga European. They want to more money, more split and leaving to a second level the domestic competitions.

The idea that keep is that the interest of the parties between the main clubs of Europe would increase the audience, generating more income. They consider that the leagues of each country sustentan in two or three teams, that are those that hoard the attention mediática, situation that does not see corresponded with the money that receive of his competitions.
