Agnelli welcomed the decision for the European Super League with a song by U2

The European Court of Justice has ruled that UEFA and FIFA should not have the right to sanction competitions between clubs, allowing Barcelona and Real Madrid to press ahead with the creation of the European Super League without having the European Football Association’s Sword of Damocles hanging over them.

At a time when most teams were quick to speak out in favor of UEFA and against the creation of the new body that could bring major changes to European football, the ESL received a friendly pat on the back from a man who caused the famous split in April had pushed forward in 2021

This is Andrea Agnelli. The former president of Juventus Turin comments on the decision of the European Court of Justice with “To the end” and quotes the lyrics from the U2 song “Where The Streets Hane No Name”, which speaks of a feeling of freedom.

“UEFA’s monopoly must be broken to give the clubs a financially stable future. A future in which clubs do not go under if they fail to qualify for European competitions.”

This is a problem for every club. With this uncertainty, it is not possible as a club to make sustainable and well-founded long-term decisions.

That’s why I’m in favor of a league system in top European football, with more financial and sporting opportunities for every club.” Agnelli told the Dutch newspaper Telegraaf after his departure from Juventus.
