Real Madrid president sends warning to Paris Saint-Germain president

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez hit out at Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi during Real Madrid’s General Assembly on Sunday.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who is also the chairman of ECA (European Club Association) has been against the creation of the European Super League.

“The Super League format cannot wind up the discussion,” Perez said.

“European justice already questions UEFA’s monopoly on football. The Super League would not be a closed competition, as it would have 25 percent of its places open.

“Recently, the ECA president of said that Real Madrid are afraid of ECA. Maybe we should remind the ECA president who Real Madrid are (applause).

“Competition is in our DNA and the club have a responsibility to protect football as a whole and that means not accepting threats from wherever they come from.

“The Super League is still in the judicial process and it is expected to be resolved in a decision that will mark European football.

“When it is pronounced we will all work together to reverse the situation in football. It must be the result of a debate without pressure, but clubs must be free. Real Madrid’s commitment to football is beyond any doubt.”
