FLORENTINO Perez, the Real Madrid president, left onlookers in no doubt that he is eager to resurrect the aborted European Super League at the Spanish giants’ annual general meeting on Sunday when he declared “our sport is sick”.
Perez, who was one of the driving forces behind the controversial failed bid to form a breakaway competition last year, stated the continent’s biggest clubs needed to play each other on a “year-round” basis in order to solve the game’s ills.
His words left football supporters far and wide feeling slightly nauseous.
