Former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has defended his role in the European Super League project.
The attempt to bring through the new competition remains alive despite a huge backlash.
Agnelli stated, "If people feel disappointed, I can understand it from a personal point of view, but not from an institutional or corporate one.
“My family would always say that something that is well done can be done better, but you need visionaries in leadership positions to understand the position of football before it is too late. The disaffection we have seen from the younger generation.
“The amount of people who were in favour of this is all obvious to me. But to achieve it you cannot compromise. It is about creating a sustainable industry that offers stability at all levels."
