Ander Herrera speaks out against Super League plans | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Ander Herrera has become the first active professional player to publicly speak out against controversial Super League proposals.

In the early hours of Monday morning, the Super League released an official statement outlining plans for a 12-club midweek league featuring some of Europe’s biggest teams.

At the time of writing, Herrera’s club PSG have not agreed to part of the league. And the Spaniard has now spoken out against it via his official social media.

“I fell in love with popular football, with the football of the fans, with the dream of seeing the team of my heart compete against the greatest,” wrote the 31-year-old.

“If this European Super League advances, those dreams are over, the illusions of the fans of the teams that are not giants of being able to win on the field competing in the best competitions will end.

“I love football and cannot remain silent about this, I believe in an improved Champions League, but not in the reach stealing what the people created, which is nothing other than the most beautiful sport on the planet.”
