Deep dives
The Widening Gap in European Football
The podcast discusses the growing gap between the richest football clubs and the rest. It explains that this gap is due to the increasing prize money awarded to teams in European competitions, which automatically makes them bigger and creates a split between major and minor leagues. Institutional investors further contribute to this inequality. The speaker predicts that the biggest clubs will eventually form their own major league tournaments, leaving the rest with matches that lose meaning and value.
