Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has supported the ruling by European Court of Justice on European Super League while aiming a slight dig on UEFA.
We reported earlier Liverpool were the last of the Premier League 'Big Six' to issue a statement distancing themselves from the European Super League after European Court of Justice's ruling.
Recall the 15-man justice panel delivered a landmark judgement which dealt a blow to UEFA monopoly over organizing interclub competitions in Europe.
The ECJ ruled that UEFA and FIFA breached European competition law by trying to stop clubs from joining European Super League in 2021.
The ruling was seen as a big win for purveyors of the ambitious football project as they crossed a legal barrier to stage the competition.
After the ruling, top European clubs issued statements rejecting European Super League and reaffirming their solidarity with UEFA and commitment to UEFA competitions.
Some football managers have also waded into the argument with many buttressing the sentiments of their clubs.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he is 100% committed and trustful of UEFA and UEFA competitions as the best football model.
Carlo Ancelotti shares the sentiments of his club Real Madrid, who are the ringleaders of the European Super League.
Ancelotti said the European Super League model offers a more promising prospect to world football, and hopes clubs will subsequently buy into the idea.
Unlike his counterparts, Jurgen Klopp seemed to share a different opinion from his club Liverpool.
The German tactician hailed the European Court of Justice verdict which outlawed UEFA and FIFA monopoly over football.
In a quote shared by Fabrizio Romano, Klopp said it was good that everybody understood that UEFA cannot do whatever they want and expect clubs to comply all the time.
"I agree 100% with the statement and the verdict”.
“I also like that we get an understanding that UEFA and other FAs can't just do what they want… putting in more games with people having no say in it”.
“I like that UEFA & more got a bit of a shake," he said.
After crossing the legal barrier, the European Super League is a project far from completion as they will face the existential challenge of winning the support of top clubs in Europe to join the competition.
