The Super League has been announced after numerous announcements. The rich want to play with the rich and cut themselves off with a tight screen from the little ones of the world of football. Of course, there is money behind everything.

Founding clubs include AC Milan, Arsenal London, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus Turin, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur. Three more clubs are to join soon, with a total of 20 clubs playing in the new competitions. It is known that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Paris Saint Germain refused (for now) to play in the Super League.

The league will start in August, there will be two groups of 10 teams. In the group, everyone will play a match and a rematch. The top three teams will automatically advance to the quarterfinals, the teams from places four and five will play in the playoffs for the missing two places. And then we will have the knockout stage until the final in May.

The rich want to separate themselves from the poor mass and have nothing to do with it. The seats in civil planes are divided into business class and economy class. In some cities, rich districts or housing estates are separated from the poor part or slums with a high fence. As if these two worlds had no right to interpenetrate.

For now, the world of football and sport, in general, is permeating. Everyone can play, although not on the same terms as many decades ago. Now there are points, seedings, and eliminations that the football hurdles have to break through to be honored at a later stage with someone from the top leagues in Europe. But even this is not enough for the richest. It would be best if the opponents, less class from their point of view, were not to be faced at all.

It is not only about Fair Play rules. It is always about money. The most powerful clubs wanted to maximize their TV broadcast profits. For example, media rights from the Champions League today are around 1.5 billion euros, and this cake must be divided between less top teams if they go to the elite competition. The businessmen from those greed clubs want to make more money. It is a corporate business model. It is simple as that.

UEFA made a special statement. The decision of the authorities can be firm and harsh. Founding clubs can be kicked out of all previous competitions in which they participate – including national leagues. What’s more, players may be banned from international competitions with their national teams.

Will UEFA actually impose sanctions? Behind the curtains, fair play speeches do not count. UEFA is also a big corporation which counts, how much money they can lose if a SuperLeague will take place. Will they find a settlement? The stakes are high.

Perhaps the split is taking place right before our eyes. Money rules the world and nothing will change that.
