Former UEFA president Michel Platini commented on the blood-boiling matters of the Super League and UEFA's intentions to punish the remaining dissidents in recent weeks. As a former official removed from football affairs due to involvement in corruption, he does not support either side. "I do not sympathize with current UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, because he is one of those leaders who never played football and only strives for his own glory. I think the crisis of the Super League was managed very poorly. The clubs should not have been called 'snakes' or 'cowards', but they should have done as it was done. At the beginning of my presidency, a similar problem arose, but I managed to convince the teams that our option was better. We discussed football, not just the profits from television contracts. Why did the Super League collapse so quickly? They lacked good communication, and the press and fans were against this creation, especially in England. Also, Josep Guardiola behaved wonderfully," clarified M. Platini. "Now I am not surprised by the behavior of Juventus owner Andrea Agnelli. He always tried to increase the value of Juventus, especially financially, but you cannot only think about money. Gianni Agnelli once said that football belongs to the fans and the media."
M. Platini criticized both the organizers of the Super League and A. Čeferin
