According to AS, the European Super League plan was doomed to fail from the start – nobody really wanted an exclusive elite competition.
However, it forced UEFA to complete a series of reforms, including expanding the Champions League and pushing for changes to the Club World Cup. None of this would have been possible without the repeated pressure from the European Super League.
The European Super League is dead. The ending was written from the start.
The fantasy of creating a closed, exclusive new competition for Europe's football elite has always been a waste of time. No one truly wanted change. No one cared if children watched fewer games, or if the format was outdated. And nobody worried whether a new streaming platform could support this king of sports.
The top teams wanted only one thing from beginning to end: more money.
Football history is a history of the corpses of Super Leagues. From the G-14 of giants to Real Madrid's five-year solo attempt—every "separatist" threat was less about sport than about economic motives.
However, this doesn't mean they were meaningless.
Historically, UEFA only conceded when cornered. From the reform of the UEFA Champions League to its expansion; from the seeding clause protecting strong teams to the signing of multinational television contracts; even the controversial Club World Cup, squeezed into an already crowded international competition calendar—all these changes would never have happened without the constant pressure from the Super League. That's the truth.
Only those who keep tightening the screws will reap the rewards. The European Super League is dead, but the next Super League is on its way.

perez is influence unlimited. UEFA adjusted by tightening the schedules, leaving no space ESL but then i think they should pay ESL massively for coping all their methods and plans.

You're getting it wrong. If it was only Perez at the start, he would not have achieved anything. All the club presidents who joined from the start played a part to ensure the changes happen.
Madrid and their dumb supporters always think Perez is a Superman who can get whatever he wants

That Super League put UEFA on it's toe. Now, the elite clubs hold the cards now, and UEFA have no option but to listen.

Is UEFA and FIFA one and the same thing? In any case Perez was looking for a different league and not an improvement to the current one
Either way, he achieved what he wanted; we don't even know the details of what was agreed.
