I don't think a European super league would ever happen simply because it wouldn't be of benefit financially to the big clubs.

The English, Spanish, Italian & German giants are far better off in their own domestic leagues & playing in the CL .

Clubs that may benefit from a European league are the big fish in small ponds such as the Old Firm in Scotland , Porto , Benfica & Sporting from Portugal , Ajax, PSV from Holland maybe Lyon & Marseille from France , Anderlecht from Belgium etc.

All the above are teams whose finances are restricted by the leagues they play in , but lets face it if they formed a european league it would be a second rate competition.
