The Portuguese was not impressed by the plan announced late Sunday night

Luis Figo, formerly of Barcelona and Real Madrid among other clubs, railed against the European Super League on Monday.

“This so called « Superleague » is anything but « Super ». This greedy and callous move would spell disaster for our grassroots, for women’s football, and the wider football community,” he tweeted, “only to serve self-interested owners, who stopped caring about their fans long ago, and complete disregard for sporting merit. Tragic.”

It was a curious tweet given that he left Barcelona for Real Madrid, showing complete disregard for the fans then himself. He won the Champions League with Real in 2002.
