Guardiola: The European Super League project "does not belong to sports"

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said today that "the European Super League project" does not belong to sports, "in the first clear and explicit statement against this competition split from the Champions League from one of the coaches of the twelve founding teams.

He said that the closed system of the new tournament "does not relate to sports when there is no relationship between effort and reward. It is not a sport when you are a guarantor of success, not a sport when it is not important if you lose."

The European Super League project, in which 20 teams will compete, guarantees a seat for the founding clubs each year, as their number is expected to increase from 12 to 15, with five teams competing to qualify according to criteria determined later.
