FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in a speech to the UEFA Congress that seemed to blame the club owners and absolve players he can only “strongly disapprove” of the Super League.

“If some elect to go their own way, then they must live with the consequences of their choice,” Infantino said.

“They are responsible for their choice,” he added.

0:00 SOUNDBITE (English): Gianni Infantino, FIFA president:

"If some elect to go their own way, then they must live with the consequences of their choice. They are responsible for their choice. Concretely, this means either you're in or you're out. You cannot be half in or half out. Think about it, everyone has to think about it, and this has to be absolutely, absolutely, clear. But I don't want to even think about that. Because like UEFA, FIFA is also a democratic organisation. An organisation, which is open. Everyone can speak, everyone can bring ideas, everyone can make proposals, and they are all taken, of course, into account."

1:16 SOUNDBITE (English): Gianni Infantino, FIFA president:

"Of course, I'm speaking about this Super League project. So let me be extremely clear from the very beginning. FIFA is an organisation which is built on values, the values, the true values of sport organisation, an organisation which is built on our statutes, the statutes which define the institutional framework with the pyramid where FIFA, the confederations, the associations, the leagues, the clubs, the players. And at FIFA, we can only and strongly disapprove the creation of the Super League of a Super League, which is a closed shop. Which is a break away from the current institutions, from the leagues, from the associations, from UEFA and from FIFA."
