MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's La Liga is in danger because of a proposal from European soccer body UEFA to create a Champions League that would be largely closed off to outsiders, its president Javier Tebas said Monday.
UEFA is working with the European Club Association , whose members includes Europe's biggest clubs, to redesign the Champions League from 2024 onwards but has not given any details on proposals, saying discussions are at an early stage.
Twenty-four teams would qualify automatically for the following year's competition with four more promoted from "They are talking about a reform of the Champions, but really it is a new competition. The leagues have been the way of qualifying for the Champions League but that won't be the case any more," Tebas said during a progamme on the Gol television channel.
Referring to the proposed competition as a Super League, he added:"The broadcast rights in Europe will change. There will be less money to share around the other clubs....and, in four or five years, the inequality will be enormous."
