European Super League: Uefa and Premier League condemn 12 major clubs signing up to breakaway plans

Uefa, the Premier League and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson have condemned 12 major European clubs, including the 'big six' from England, signing up to a breakaway European Super League.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham are part of the group.

La Liga's Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid and Serie A's AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus are involved.

Uefa said it will use "all measures" possible to stop the "cynical project".

Senior figures at European football's governing body are furious about the proposals.



What do you guys think? This is disgusting as hell, I don't wanna support a club that is greedy only for money.

They've been talking about this happening for 20+ years, I guess it finally could.

Who cares though, soccer is a farce now anyway.

Aussie please don't talk about football.

I'm against it as well.

Unfortunately most pro sports are all a farce now.

It's an act of pure greed. This idea of a super league rubs me the wrong way. Considering what makes these teams think they are above merit and don't need to compete against the other teams of their respective leagues. Basically an elitist move to minimize competitiveness.

Aussie please don't talk about football.

I know far more about it than you.

You wish, I can also see you watching football at 7 a.m

Highly unethical.
Although I have my share of doubts this is going to be feasible. If clubs are to be banned from their domestic leagues and footballers forbidden to representing their national teams I doubt this European Super League is going any further. At the end will work as leverage to alter champions league model, most likely.
In any case of this league becoming a reality don't count with me to watch any game, even if Portuguese teams involved.
Congratulations to German clubs in maintaining their dignity.

Happy that BvB is not part of this.
