Super League clubs compared to flat-earthers and Monty Python characters by UEFA president Ceferin

The man who runs European football's main governing body has taken aim at the owners still behind the controversial competition

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has compared the founding Super League clubs to flat-earth believers and Monty Python characters while insisting "everyone will be held responsible" for the proposed breakaway.

Plans for the formation of a new competition to rival the Champions League have been ripped to shreds over the past week amid fierce opposition from supporters and experts across the game.

Most of the original 12 founding clubs have officially withdrawn, but Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has insisted that the Super League will still go ahead, much to Ceferin's bemusement.
