Cristiano Ronaldo Rejects European Super League, Despite Real Madrid’s Backing, Through a Secret Move

It’s not just a sport, it’s a way of life. Soccer has been one of society’s biggest rays of hope, unifying all the diverse people and cultures in the world. Keeping this in mind, one of the sport’s biggest faces, Cristiano Ronaldo, rejected the newly aspiring rebel European Super League indirectly.

Even though it is backed by the most iconic club Ronaldo’s played for, Real Madrid, the Portuguese forward was not obliged to support it. As the bigger clubs are now trying to make soccer an elite affair, fans around the world are taking a stand against it, and even Ronaldo is also supportive.

Cristiano Ronaldo subtly pushes the European Super League away

Ronaldo is in solidarity with fans against the European Super League. Recently, a small soccer club named Fans United FC posted an emotional video to reveal how the Super League could affect them. Watching the video, Ronaldo acknowledged it with a like to hint that he sides with the lesser-famous clubs. The Super League is an idea from 2021 that aimed to create an independent league from UEFA with access only to 64 high-profile teams. However, the league was shunned by many fans, including fans of those whose clubs were favoring it.

The Instagram video sends a powerful message across the soccer world, with an emotional touch to it. Claiming to not even own a playing field, Fans United FC from the 3rd tier of Montenegrin soccer said that the Super League could never allow the dreams of emerging clubs to come true. The club has a vision of playing in the UEFA Champions League and believes they can make it come true if the soccer system remains as it is.

Ronaldo is Real Madrid’s all-time top scorer and one of their greatest players. The club is one of the main entities pushing the Super League, along with its president, Florentino Perez. But Ronaldo has rejected the idea subtly and without much noise. The post has under 1500 likes, but Ronaldo’s acknowledgment is worth many more.

The Portuguese captain has more than 614 million followers on Instagram and is the most followed and influential person on the platform. His influence in world soccer knows no bounds, and this move is definitely an encouragement for aspiring clubs.
