UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has spoken about the Super League saga and about possible sanctions that could be taken against the clubs involved.
There is a Champions League semi-final scheduled for next week between two of these teams, Real Madrid and Chelsea, so Ceferin was asked if there is a chance it won't be played.
"The key is that this season has already started, so broadcasters would come at us for damages if we don't play the semi-finals," he said, responding to that question on Slovenian TV, on 24UR.
"So, there's a relatively small possibility that this match isn't played next week.
"But, things could be a little different in the future."
He was also asked about Florentino Perez's comments about not wanting a UEFA president like Ceferin.
"Well, that's more incentive for me to stay," he said.
"He wants a president who obeys whatever he says, who listens to him and who does what he thinks.
"I do what I think is good for European and world football."

Delaying the game against will be of great blessings in disguise to Madrid as most of their players will recover to knock Chelsea out. Especially Valverde and Mendy. Hala Madrid

really you Chelsea and Man City fans are so hypothetical. no one bats an eye when Abramovic back when he bought!! a MID- TABLE teams at best(Chelsea Fc) with all due respect. And the man just injected huge amounts of cash to subsidize player transfers and literally buy trophies to become what can many consider in England as of now maybe the 3rd biggest club again in England trophy-wise. I didn't see Chelsea fans crying out that that abuse of spending money was killing the game at the time and that it was unfair to the smaller teams neither have i heard any Man City fan cry and complain from the doping the Sheiks have done not only to City Fc but other teams they've bought around the world just to buy trophies. The hyporacy greed is real in fútbol and so is the corruption let's be real. But Chelsea, Man City and PSG fans, players, and staff just don't talk, you all have no right you hypocrites ..

I would have liked to watch the ESL even if it's just for one season,I would like also to watch the UEFA not In group stages but as a league some teams get favoured in group stages others are in group of death this makes football look as if one slight mistake your out example Man U was kicked off by leipzig because of a defeat past match but it had won several matches that team losses it ID in the game let have as many games in UEFA as possible to maximize the revenue, international breaks also should be given enough break it's better some of the cups of no importance eg Carling cup to b kept aside and be played by teams from Number 15 in EPL and championship one and two giving them a chance to raise their revenue but if not that the big teams will always dominate the league and some teams will vanish example Portsmouth,Wigan,Bolton they have vanished for instance look at Schalk04 in Bundesliga it's vanishing down,unless you don want to protect the teams

UEFA should not be drawn into retaliation against the big teams but should find out what promulgated the breakaway in the first place and find solutions to quell the agitation. I wonder what is the difference between UEFA and the ESL founders especially when you hear UEFA president spake like this 👉🏼 Caferin: "The key is that this season has already started, so broadcasters would come at us for damages if we don't play the semi-finals," he said. So It has always been about the money 💵 for you guys and never about THE FANS who unfortunately in the recent event were the catalyst that destroyed the ESL. Can UEFA, media, fans,Boris Johnson and other leaders alike fight and destroy Racism the same way ESL was crushed within 48hours. I believe It’s possible when it becomes priority like money was for you guys. Racism should have no place in this world and certainly not in football. At last we know Money rules the world, if you doubt it please ask Mr. Perez🤗🥱

super league was a good idea but people were driven by them feelings and fancy words killing football joy ? football for the poor ? well im from africa and i can't watch my favorite teams from home cause its very expensive so i must watch in stupid cafes so football is for the poor but u must pay much for it and suddenly players who take millions and millions decided that football is for the poor too but they ready to leave club to another for 1 mil extra and the same people who says its for the poor will ask them clubs later to buy expensive players later to win the poor clubs all the time maybe perez wasn't 100% right but they could Modify it maybe latter we see UEFA do the same thing but it will be no problems as long as thy control the money fifa and UEFA are much worst in the end

FIFA is some how being greedy, why should they be only ones controlling Football? Just showing how they don't want others to progress! And Besides these pay to participate in the leagues, don't they? Why should they bothered if other clubs choose not leave and form their own league. They are not being rebellious, They are only exercising their right of choice. So the move for FIFA to bun those players who participate in super from participating in the world cup shows desperate they are to keep controlling others. Instead FIFA should try to take favorable measure that will help make the team's stay... like raise the tournament price to be win, may be that will attract these clubs back!

I don't understand why people say football is for the fans 🙄 if football is for the fans why most we pay to watch it 😒 make it free 🤔 all this club pay big money to big players so that they can play at the highest level 🤔 how many people watch man u vs Norwich 🤔how many people watch man u vs Madrid 🤔 if you think super league is a bad idea that means you don't understand the game 🙄 I have been waiting for people to protest against the death of workers who pass out in Qatar because of fifa world cup are they not football fans 🙄 you are saying football is not for the money how much is ceferin salary 🙄 for my own opinion if you don't want to pay them for the services they are giving to the fans let them go and start their own business 🙄

These clubs who withdrew have betrayed the rest.Forming the league was a good idea,and leaving the league was also a good idea after being criticized.My point is,there are problems in the bodies managing UEFA and FIFA and that is Corruption.Rather than leaving the way they left,these teams should have stand firm together and address a way how to reform these bodies governing football if they were not in need of them forming Super league.Its a regret to Realmadrid and Barcelona to have chosen betrayer teams to form a league.They are cowards.At least with this even if the Super league saga won't progress but this corruption problem would have been solved.Anyway Realmadrid has nothing to lose.The losses they have now will just be solved but these clubs will continue sinking if a business strategy is not struck.Football is just a business like any other business.It would have been extra fun for we funs if we had this extra action but we lost it.Anyway it is because we said the poor clubs will suffer but UEFA and FIFA barred these clubs from participating in their parent leagues.So who denied you the right?To me I feel it's UEFA and FIFA and it's because they want it for themselves.Champions league was there these clubs never removed them.The point was to create more action especially with clubs with greate funs to save these clubs from the effects of the pandemic.The Superleague clubs had funs and these would generate good money and there was a five team gap left for teams which were doing well which could fill this.Its timing was also different.So it had nothing to do with elimination of poor clubs because UEFA,FIFA and normal league were there.These bodies were the ones which denied the rights of players and even the teams.You will later agree with my point if not now.

I blame the 12 founding club for not standing their ground .. they have one of the best players in the world of footballs and the pandemic hit them hard the most ..if FIFA and other surrounding bodies should banned them from participating in their competition who is going to watch a premier league game with Leicester competing west Ham or astonvilla for the title.who is going to watch a championship league game without the big names on it..who is going to wake a world cup with this funny players. Imagine lingard captaining England.the fans will all Their complaints will prefer to watch Madrid playing Man U than west ham playing astonvilla or Granada playing Sevilla

chelsea wasn't a mid table team before then, they played some few CL and UEFA CUPS.. even reach in each CL quarter finals, just that Abramovich cemented there place in status of giants and of course making winning league CL more attainable... what you wrote suits more Man city who was a mid table indeed

Look who is talking about hypocrisy??? And what do you think your club does??? Where do you think Florentino gets all the money to buy all the players Real Madrid bought all over the years? Real Madrid money come from the state that Pérez takes for him and inject in the club. Most of the money, where never Real Madrid's own. Real Madrid spend a lot of years not winning no trophies and you call City and Chelsea hypocrites! all the trophies you won in the last 20 years are bought, lad! Don't foul yourself! Real Madrid are the first hypothetical team that are buying the titles for lots of years and still are doing it with that charlatan and con man president of yours... 🤣🤣🤣 With all due respect!!!

you should be crying , perez offered you a way to generate as much money as Man City but guess who didn't take it ? the club that will sell all his players just to keep their youngster, well enjoy Madrid signing Halaand and Mbappe while you scratch free transfers
most top clubs generate more money than man city, barca and real generally do it every year.
