Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi says UEFA competitions are as much as 39 per cent more profitable thanks to the collapse of the Super League project.
And that's good news for clubs in Scotland with at least one of Rangers or Celtic going in to the Champions League group stage in 2022/23.
Twelve of the biggest clubs in European football were met with fury last season when they announced plans to form a breakaway competition to rival the Champions League and Europa League.
The closed-shop nature of the plans incensed fans and all six Premier League representatives quickly pulled out - as did Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus remain committed to making it happen and there has been talk of a revived proposal in recent weeks.
But Al-Khelaifi, who is also chairman of the European Clubs Association, has been against it since day one.
And he claims the resulting collaboration between UEFA and the ECA has made clubs more money than the failed Super League would have - with an incredible 39% increase in the value of UEFA's top competitions.
He said: "For the first time ever, UEFA and ECA have worked jointly to conduct an open and competitive tender to manage the sales process for men's European club competitions.
"We have seen an amazing 39% increase in the forecasted commercial value of the men's UEFA club competitions for the post-2024 cycle. This deal also proves that the doubters of the European football model were wrong.
"More influence and more affluence for clubs, more progressive governance and more European togetherness
"I remember some people trying to tear down the system for a fraction of these things last year."
Al-Khelaifi also said that the ECA would make available 1 million euros ($1.10 million) in aid to Ukrainian people affected by Russia's invasion of the country.
"We are living through troubling times. We have all grieved to see the violent attacks on the Ukrainian people, and we call for peace," the Paris Saint-Germain president said.
"I am in touch with the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) so that ECA can help both the Ukrainian people, and the refugees being cared for in the neighbouring countries.
"ECA will make available an initial 1 million euro financial contribution in supporting our members' efforts in assisting the Ukrainian people, while many of our clubs have also offered to find a safe place for Ukrainian youth academy players."
Russia calls its actions a "special military operation".
The ECA's General Assembly is set to discuss a number of wide-ranging issues in football over the next two days, including Financial Fair Play, the format of European club competitions after 2024 and inclusivity in the sport.
