Florentino Perez has once again raised the idea of a European Super League, saying football is 'sick' at Real Madrid's general assembly.

WHAT HE SAID: Speaking to the Real Madrid general assembly Perez said: "Football is sick. The idea collapsed as quickly as it was announced, but Madrid president Perez is adamant an idea of a similar format will improve football. We are losing the global entertainment battle.

Real Madrid held their General Assembly on Sunday morning as they look to gain the approval of their members for the season's budgets.

Perez also rejected criticism about the format, claiming that the 25% of places open in the proposed Superleague was in line with much of Europe’s other competitions. The trend is inarguable. “UEFA is increasing the number of games between irrelevant teams. Perez also compared football to tennis, which sees some of the top players play each other regularly. Even the final phases.” They are asking for a quality product that football does not provide, because the current competitions do not attract them…

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez again insisted on the idea of a European Super League when speaking at a club members assembly on Sunday.

For clubs in smaller leagues like Ajax and Celtic, a Super League would shut them out in a way that Champions League and Europa League doesn't. Perez's want for a Super League won't go away anytime soon but he will need to create an open system if it is to get across the line without competition. The chance that every team has to fall out of a Champions League place would create a system devoid of competition. Barcelona and Juventus have been the other three clubs to maintain public support for the project but Real Madrid are in a different position from the two. "Competition is in our DNA and the club have a responsibility to protect football as a whole and that means not accepting threats from wherever they come from." At Real Madrid's annual general meeting Sunday, club president Florentino Perez doubled down on the failed European Super League, saying it is needed for soccer to retain its position as the most popular sport in the world.

The game didn't turn out the way we wanted, but we could have won, we just didn't have the luck to score the penalty." [Vinicius Junior](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/252107/Vinícius-Júnior) gave the champions the lead just before halftime with a long-range shot, but the visitors equalised after the break through Kike Garcia, who scored with a brilliant header from the edge of the area that looped over the goalkeeper. "We deserved the win but we missed a penalty. "There are no excuses with the international break, we have to deal with it, the squad is very good. "It isn't too serious. "Benzema has done his part, he had the penalty chance after a very good play but missed it.

Benzema fired wide from the penalty spot in the 79th minute, after being fouled inside the area by defender Unai Garcia, who was shown a straight red card.

While it was welcome sight to see Karim Benzema back for Real Madrid, he had an uncharacteristically lacklustre performance.

Since the start of last season, he has now failed to convert five penalties (scored 8/13). 6, the team had scored 11 goals in four games: three against Celtic, four against [Mallorca](/soccer/team?id=84), and two each against [RB Leipzig](/soccer/team?id=11420) and [Atletico Madrid](/soccer/team?id=1068). - Surprising that Karim Benzema has been shaky on penalties in LaLiga games of late. Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti: "Benzema has done his part, he had the penalty chance after a very good play but missed it. Here, his first save came in the 28th minute, a straightforward stop from an optimistic long-range shot from Lunin has often looked nervous and uncertain on his rare appearances for Madrid, as if over-keen to make a positive impression. It can't be easy being backup goalkeeper to the best in the business. The second half brought an even better chance to do so when Madrid were awarded a penalty for The result leaves Madrid level on 19 points with a resurgent Barcelona at the top of the table and sets up a potentially thrilling two-team title race, with both sides having the chance to strike an early blow in El Clasico here at the Santiago Bernabeu on Oct.
