The Uefa president, Aleksander Ceferin, has praised the Premier League for its financial success and said it is being demonised by critics who claim it is damaging competition with Europe’s other leagues.
Ceferin, elected unopposed for a third term at Uefa’s congress in Lisbon on Wednesdayyesterday, said the threat of a European Super League remained a “present danger” and described the owners of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus as “cartels above meritocracy and democracy” for their leading roles in the plot.
