It’s quite impressive how quickly things have changed for those who tried to develop the European Super League.
Following the sadness and anger shown by fans and media when the tournament was announced, we now see the situation having a big turnaround, with the search for apologies and even some mockery towards those who failed in that project.
As Juventus are playing tonight, just one day after the whole thing went down, the Italian media is obviously covering the match against Parma with a huge slant on the Super League disaster.
And as traditionally done by Valero Staffelli, there’s now the delivery of the Tapiro d’Oro, which is aimed at Juventus president Andrea Agnelli.
The prize has been in the Italian media for 25 years, and rewards the local personalities who’ve just been involved with some huge fiasco, which is pretty much the case of the Andrea Agnelli and the Super League, or is presented after a prank.
As shown by Calcio Mercato, instead of their usual small trophy, Striscia la Notizia this time built a giant Tapiro d’Oro, delivered in a small truck in front of Juventus’ Allianz Stadium.
There are mixed reactions from people who get the prize, with some showing discontent and others accepting the joke. We’re still to see Agnelli’s response to it.
