City and Chelsea are among the six English clubs that were all set to be a part of the European Super League. The Cityzens and the Blues are two of the 12 founding members of the highly controversial league which was set to host a series of big names such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan.
It is also understood through various sources that Barcelona president Joan Laporta is ready to follow the opinion of the fans. Arsenal are also expected to follow the same suit as their Premier League rivals and the pressure is growing on Manchester United and Liverpool to follow the lead of City and Chelsea.
It will be a victory for football fans across Europe but the hard pill to digest is that it is still very difficult to fathom that a group of money-hungry owners were ready to change the game as we have come to know it to make extra money.
In a time when solidarity is needed more than ever, it is really heartwarming to see football fans across the globe coming together despite their allegiances to speak out against a “cynical” plan, as described by UEFA.
Manchester City have certainly made the right decision to pull out of the ESL which is basically a league promoting elitism and not an equal game. The highly controversial breakaway concept is close to failing spectacularly and it remains to be seen what the authorities decide on the consequences that the teams involved in the planning of the competition would have to face.
