The departure of the 'Big Six' hurts the Super League to death

English football said no to the Super League. The six teams of the Premier were announcing their rejection of the new project at a Monday end of the day in which the events were unleashed. The strong influence of public opinion and the British government, with Boris Johnson at the helm, they were the trigger for the English teams to abandon the project one by one, despite the fact that they had signed an agreement with the Super League only 48 hours before.

The images of fans outside Stamford Bridge demonstrating against the new tournament made Chelsea the first to question their participation in the Super League. However, the initial statement was from Manchester City, who said in a note that he had started the procedures to leave the tournament. For a moment it seemed that it would be a matter of the ‘citizen’ and perhaps Chelsea, but an emergency meeting between the 12 founding members of the Super League ended with the departure of all the English.

Late at night, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United also announced that they are no longer part of the dissident plans.. In this way, the Super League collapsed and with only six clubs standing: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atlético, Juventus, Milan and Inter.
