Yes - though my gut feel is a European Super League will be a midweek league
The New Cl format requires 19 match rounds and it would be pretty easy to get in another 4 or 5 matches if the clubs in a super league agreed to fly to dubai or china or USA etc for a bunch of games in the winter break
that would give you easy options of two leagues of 8 playing each other home, away and at a neutral venue (middle east, china, america type cash cow) then put the top 4 from each league into an end of season knock out format
16 teams could be something like
United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs
Bayern, Dortmund, RB Leipzig
Real, Barca, Athletico
Juve, Inter, AC
PSG
All could compete in their domestic leagues - there would be no FFP restrictions as it wouldnt be a UEFA competition - closed shop let clubs sell the rights to their home games and split all the revenue from the neutral games ... Think all the clubs would sign up for something like that ... Of course all would pretty much be guaranteed to be chasing for their domestic titles given the financial advantages they woudl enjoy - but hey look they all do now anyway
21 league games (7 home, 7 away, 7 neutral... played say 3 in Asia pre season and 4 in Middle east in winter break)... (money from neutral games shared between all clubs)
at the end of the season 8 teams (top 4 from each league) play 3 more neutral games (round of 8, round of 4 and final in America )... (money from these games shared between the clubs involved)
24 games - easily as managable as the new Cl format - games around the world and huge tv rights plus no need to leave their domestic leagues.
Yeah Id rather watch that than the new CL format thats been proposed
