Club feel breakaway from Uefa ‘more pressing’ than ever‘We feel like Asterix in a world dominated by the Romans’
Real Madrid have spelled out their commitment to a restructuring of the Champions League in which the clubs not Uefa are in control – essentially a European Super League 2.0.
The Madrid chief executive, José Ángel Sánchez, who rarely speaks in public, has taken part in a Harvard Business School (HBS) case study – seen by the Guardian – in which he explains why he feels change is essential. In it, he likens Uefa to the musicians on the Titanic, playing on despite impending doom.
