Aleksander Ceferin prepares Celtic and Rangers for Champions League 'evolution' as he blasts Super League 'sharks'

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin says clubs like Celtic and Rangers don't ever need to worry about a breakaway from the Champions League.

The talk of a European Super League have hovered over the continent's game ever since a move by 12 rebel clubs in 2021. Only Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid remain but new invites for ESL 2.0 were reportedly sent out last month with talk on a new system outside UEFA's three competitions refusing to die.

But Ceferin is having none of it and expects it all just to be noise, as he tells the other three to go their own way with the Super League. When asked if the Super League could go forward without English clubs, he told The Overlap: "No way. Without the English clubs, the Champions League is not the same. No Super League would exist and you have to know that German clubs are in the exactly same position as English clubs. If Bayern or Borussia Dortmund joined you would see people on the streets just as you saw in England. In Spain, out of 20 clubs in La Liga, 18 against.
