Real Madrid Chief Proposes Euro Super League

Real Madrid's top chief Florentino Perez said Sunday that European clubs should regularly play each other in what he termed as a new "European Super League."

Perez said it is important that the best clubs in the continent compete against each other in regular fashion every season, a contrasting reference to the current Champions League established by UEFA.

"We have to agree a new European Super League which guarantees that the best always play the best - something that does not happen in the Champions League," the 62-year-old Perez told Spanish television.

The Bernabeu boss, however, was to quick to add that his proposal isn't meant to affect the domestic leagues, saying local competition should not be abandoned.

Perez's super league ambitions is the latest turn in his bid for football supremacy with Real Madrid after the recent lucrative signings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema.

He first guided Real Madrid early this decade and became famous for arranging high-profile players like Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo and David Beckham in the fold--a lineup that was popularly called Galacticos.

He resigned in 2006 but returned three years later and has since plucked Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema, including Raul Albiol.
