April 21, 2021 All Six Premier League Clubs Pull Out Of Proposed European Super League

All six Premier League teams involved in the European Super League (ESL) have now withdrawn from the competition.

Manchester City were the first club to pull out after Chelsea had signaled their intent to do so by preparing documentation to withdraw.

The other four sides - Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham - have all now followed suit.

It was condemned by fans, football authorities and government ministers in the UK and across Europe by Uefa and league associations.

The Super League said it would reconsider "the most appropriate steps to reshape the project".

The 12-team Super League was announced on Sunday to widespread condemnation.

The remaining six clubs, Spain's Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid and Italy's AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus are yet to comment on the withdrawal of the English sides.

"Despite the announced departure of the English clubs, forced to take such decisions due to the pressure put on them, we are convinced our proposal is fully aligned with European law and regulations," the ESL said, adding it was "convinced that the current status quo of European football needs to change".
