Paris Saint-Germain president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi has slammed Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid for attempting to kill the 'soul of football' with the failed European Super League competition.

Real Madrid, who earned their record-extending 14th UEFA Champions League crown, fronted the infamous European Super League (ESL), a few months before their triumph.

Despite the Spanish club's firm stance on pushing for the failed ESL breakaway, the Los Blancos defied all odds to annex Europe's premier club competition at the expense of Liverpool in Paris.

Revisiting the sensitive topic of the closed-shop competition, PSG chief Al-Khelaifi, who has kicked against the Super League since its conception, believes the Super League would have spelt doom for football.

"I respect the big clubs. Real Madrid deserved the Champions League: they celebrated it for days and then they want to kill it," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I like to see Ajax in the semi-finals, Tottenham in the final. I remember with emotion PSG's first outings in Europe, in Salzburg with the bare-chested fans freezing.

"It is the soul of football. It is unfair to deny it with a closed league. We will not let that happen." Al-Khelaifi stressed.
