Pep Guardiola has said that the European Super League is not sport if there is no relegation and promotion

Man City boss Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says the 12 clubs that established the European Super League need to explain the concept behind it and a Super League without relegation or promotion is "not sport". 

The Premier League table-toppers are part of the founding members of the breakaway tournament which would see the creation of a 'closed league', which none of the 12 founding clubs can be relegated. 

Guardiola said he was not comfortable answering questions about the new tournament because he has no knowledge of the details other than the statement released to everyone but he was not sold out on the idea.

Guardiola also questioned the selection process as big European teams like Ajax are not part of the founding members

UEFA failed, they think for themselves


Pep Guardiola also said that UEFA failed the clubs and players during the coronavirus Pandemic as they had to fight for 5 subs and also the schedule are too tight which is making players struggle with injury.

He pointed out that Bayern Munich had to play the champions league quarter-finals against PSG without their best player Robert Lewandowski who picked up an injury while playing for his country.

Bayern Munich were knocked out of the tournament losing to PSG on away goals after a 3-3 draw on aggregate.



Man City will play Aston Villa tomorrow in the Premier League before facing Tottenham in the Carabao cup final at Wembley on Sunday then they will face PSG in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. 

Despite the busy week ahead, Guardiola's questions were mostly about the ESL news.
