Toni Kroos believes a European Super League will eventually happen and has backed the concept to bring more enthusiasm and emotion into the game. 

Earlier this month A22 revealed plans to revise the idea of a European Super League, where a ten-point plan detailed a competition comprising of 60 to 80 teams and a minimum of 14 matches per club, per season.

There would be no permanent members, bringing up the prospect of a promotion and relegation system between the divisions, and it would not require clubs to leave their domestic competitions.

The plan has once again seen a backlash against it from fans, while Premier League teams claim to be baffled by the idea. However, Real Madrid star Toni Kroos believes that a European Super League is inevitable. 

Speaking on his latest podcast, Einfach mal Luppen, the German midfielder backed the idea of a Super League and explained why he thinks football is in need of a change. 

'I think we will see the Super League. And I believe so for several reasons' Kroos said. 

'The idea of the Super League has changed and deserves to be heard. If you look carefully from both angles, you will see that UEFA is by no means a great Samaritan for football fans and that the Super League has no plans, at least in the second attempt, to exclude any team, because there will be no permanent founding members. 

It is a sports competition, an open tournament, but managed by the clubs and not by UEFA, because these clubs believe that they do not need UEFA for that. I think this deserves at least one chance.' 

The fresh plans for a European Super League come amid growing concerns about the financial might of England's Premier League, whose 20 clubs shelled out a combined £815million during the January window. 

While the total lay-out from top-flight clubs in Spain, Italy, France and Germany combined came to just over a quarter of that figure. 

Away from the financials, Kroos thinks the competition could reignite the passion for football and has scoffed at suggestions that people would get sick of seeing the same big teams competition against each other. 

'Although we have already talked about the loss of passion for football, I believe that the Super League has the opportunity to reverse that situation'. He continued to explain. 

'Let there be more enthusiasm and emotion for the games that we will be able to see. Because in the end, let's not fool ourselves, many people always say: 'Who wants to see Real Madrid against Manchester City every week?' But have you gotten tired of watching Federer against Nadal over and over again? I don't. That's my opinion. 

 I think we can attract the fans and get them back to football, and it could also bring a completely different enthusiasm to the neutral fan. Because these matches are not only watched by the supporters of the clubs, but also by neutral fans. 

And I think that, with the feeling that interest in football is waning, we would have the opportunity to increase all that again if we seriously addressed it.'

Kroos, who won 106 caps for his country before retiring from international football in July 2021, has also hit out at UEFA for packing out the fixture schedule by introducing the Nations League. 

Stating that there was less of a opposition to the introduction of an international competition that no one needed. 

The 33-year-old added: 'I think we have only heard the UEFA side, and too often in my opinion. Why is it ok for UEFA to introduce a Nations League that no one needs? Suddenly no one asks them about it. 

That's why I think it's incredibly important to listen to other proposals like the Super League. I get the feeling that we are no longer being listened to.'
