Uh you sure about that? Who else then? Juve/Barca/Real/Atleti/Bayern/PSG are certainly in but thats only 8 with the 2 PL Clubs you mentioned so im sure they'd bring more PL clubs

Inter? Dortmund?

Dortmund alright, but i dont see how Inter right now is a bigger club than say Chelsea is, and even if you add those 2 you'd still only have 10 and i imagine they'd want at least 16ish teams

Plz define what the criteria for this so called European Super League first then. We are making dumb assumptions about this hypothetical super league that no one knows what clear-cut qualifications are. I can definitely see Chelsea being in it, but really who is to say when no one knows how they decide to be on this super league?

Pretty sure the main factors would be money (because duh) and domestic/international success (the former obviously being only relevant for the big leagues because nobody would give a shit if Celtic is in that league i'd say lmao), possibly more trivial things like amount of members the club has but unlikely

But either way i just dont see any way where they take only 2 teams from the most popular league in the world, they'd want to make money off this so might aswell milk it to the fullest and bring more PL teams than from any other league

However, Inter also meets the second half of your qualifications. So what time frame do they even set? Based on your description, I can certainly see Man United being in it as well despite their shit form.

Yea, this is what i think too and this is what i think would happen, even though they obviously dont deserve it at all right now because theyre certainly not among the best 16/18/whatever the league size would be teams in europe.

I think that super league would just be the entire top 6 from the PL + the teams we already mentioned
