'Irresponsible to irreparably damage' European football

On Sunday, 12 of Europe’s leading football clubs announced plans to form a so-called European Super League.

Those involved are Premier League clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, Serie A clubs AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus, and Spanish clubs Atlético Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The group plans to add three additional clubs before the Super League’s inaugural season, which is “intended to commence as soon as is practicable.”

The plans, which would represent the most significant shake-up of elite European football in recent history, was met with immediate condemnation from fans, politicians, former players and the sport’s regulators.
