Real Madrid Confidencial Florentino Had a Key Meeting during the Real Madrid - Sevilla Game
The presence of this key executive in the future of the Super League is no surprise
The game between Real Madrid and Sevilla was a key encounter for the future of LaLiga, a situation that Carlo Ancelotti's men solved without problems. Apart from the first team's good performance, Florentino Pérez also had other matters of great importance to deal with.
The president of Real Madrid's busy schedule for last Sunday was revealed by the presence of an important executive at Santiago Bernabéu: Bernd Reichart. The fact that the CEO of the Super League is at Real Madrid's stadium is no surprise, with Madrid being the main competition's promoter.
It was Florentino Pérez who decided to launch it more than three years ago, although much has changed since then. Responsible for its transformations, the control of the original idea now falls to A22 Sports. Reichart is the face of the Super League and of A22 itself.
Apart from enjoying the game between Real Madrid and Sevilla, Reichart had another reason to go to the stadium. Because the Super League's future, now known as the Unify League, is at stake. And not only because of the recent changes in format.
Step by step
The reply and reactions to the Unifiy League have been improving over time. The complete restructuring of the competition, originally launched to the public in April 2021, has meant a move closer to domestic competitions.
This is where the biggest change of opinion is believed to have been achieved, especially in the Premier League, one of the main centers of opposition to the Super League when it was first announced. The reports coming out of the British Isles are increasingly encouraging.
The rapid steps that the Unify League is taking have a very specific objective: to start as soon as possible. Some point out that the start date planned by the tournament's top officials is September 2025, a time when not many believe it possible.
Whatever the case, Florentino Pérez is closely following all the changes that are taking place around the Super League. The competition created by the president of Real Madrid, championed by the white club, is slowly beginning to gain ground on the Old Continent.
