There is talk of Premier League titans like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City, along with fellow European giants like Real Madrid and Juventus, forming a European Premier League made up of 18 teams that would run alongside their domestic campaigns.

It isn't the first time a European Super League has been floated, but it is the most serious proposals yet. Whilst the competition would initially rival the UEFA Champions League, and is backed by FIFA, eventually it could replace domestic leagues altogether.

Understandably, many people have been outraged by these suggestion to overhaul European football / soccer, just as they were with Project Big Picture, but in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at why a breakaway super league made up of the continents biggest clubs could actually benefit the sport in the long run.
