Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has refused to back down in his defence of the disastrous European Super League and insists that anyone who thinks the project is dead is 'completely wrong'.
Perez, who is also the president of the Super League, has come out swinging just 24 hours after the controversial project collapsed, which saw the Premier League's 'Big Six' withdraw from £4.6bn scheme on Tuesday evening.
In an interview with El Larguero's Manu Carreno, Perez claimed a smear campaign was created to oppose the Super League after fierce backlash across Europe, saying claims that said the midweek competition would get rid of domestic leagues were not true.
