Following the General Assembly of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez was back in the news over the weekend. However, this wasn’t because his budget for the upcoming campaign had been approved.
The long-serving president of Los Blancos utilized his platform to speak extensively to the club’s supporters in favour of the Superleague project. Real Madrid continues to be a part of the Superleague project, together with Juventus and Barcelona.
His discourse focused on the global entertainment market, claiming that football was losing the battle for the attention of young people, especially compared to sports in the United States of America.
His solution was to increase the number of matches between the best clubs in Europe in order to produce a “quality product,” which he claimed football did not.
