Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed that the German giants back the plans for a reformed Champions League as oppose to the European Super League.
Twelve sides have already signed up to the breakaway league, which has come under scrutinising criticism from fans, players, managers, pundits and football authorities.
UEFA have announced their plans to revamp the Champions League, set to start from 2023, increasing the number of teams from 32 to 36.
Rummenigge has backed this proposal and condemned the Super League in a statement which said: "FC Bayern did not participate in the planning of a Super League. We are convinced that the current status in football guarantee a serious basis.
"FC Bayern welcomes the reforms of the Champions League because we believe that they are the right step for the development of European football. The modified preliminary round will contribute to more tension and emotionality in the competition. I don't think the Super League will solve the European clubs' financial problems caused by coronavirus.
"Rather, all clubs in Europe should work in solidarity to ensure that the cost structure, in particular the players' salaries and the fees for the consultants, are adjusted to the income in order to make European football more rational."
Hansi Flick's side were knocked out of this season's Champions League earlier this month by Paris Saint-Germain, who have also not signed up to the European Super League.
