Super League didn't have the interests of football at heart, says PSG president Al-Khelaifi

The president maintain changing the Champions League are the best option for improving the top level of the game instead of forming a breakaway league

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi says the Super League project was not in football's best interests, insisting the Champions League must be protected.

PSG were not among the 12 founding members of the competition, which pledged to break away from UEFA and compete with or replace the Champions League.

The plan collapsed within days of its announcement, as football's governing bodies and fan protests convinced nine clubs to pull out and Al-Khelaifi believes football is better off without the controversial idea.
