European Super League collapsing in under 48 hours of announcement

Plans for the European Super League seem to be on the verge of collapse merely a day after they came into being. Of the 12 teams that were involved in the competition, including the ‘Big Six’ of English football, Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly pulling out of the competition. 

Rather interestingly, both Chelsea and Manchester City had not a lot of interest in joining the league and they only conceded to the pressures of the tournament due to a case of FOMO. However, no matter the reason, they could be considered equally as bad as the rest. But there is hope that their leading by example of quitting the Super League will encourage fans to forgive the club. 

Chelsea fans were livid and protesting outside Stamford Bridge ahead of their game against Brighton. So much so that Technical Director Petr Cech had to come out and confront the fans themselves. They were preventing the team bus from coming into the stadium, and it wasn’t until Cech reasoned with them that they calmed down. 

But that is not the only form of protest that is being seen. Chelsea and Liverpool fans have taken down banners from the Shed End and Kop of their respective home stadiums. Moreover, the rest of the 14 clubs are wearing special training kits to protest the Big Six’s privileged stance. 

The news, now confirmed about both Blue clubs withdrawing, has earned the praise of England Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who tweeted about the issue. 

Atletico Madrid are denying reports that they have pulled out of the competition, while there is also pressure on Florentino Perez to resign as the President of the breakaway tournament. Lastly, Manchester United vice-chairman Ed Woodward has resigned from his post at the club alongside Juventus’ Andrea Agnelli.
