Plans to launch the controversial European Super League among elite soccer teams lie in tatters after the six English clubs previously involved said that they had withdrawn
Plans for the breakaway league were announced on Sunday and would have seen upwards of a dozen English and continental European club teams quit existing European tournaments and instead seen them play each other in mid-week matches. The new elite tournament would not have required the elite teams to qualify each year and would instead have included them on their historical success and financial prowess.
“Liverpool Football Club can confirm that our involvement in proposed plans to form a European Super League has been discontinued,” Liverpool said via Twitter.
