Commentary: Why were we shocked by the breakaway Super League?
Football’s been dying for a while

On Sunday, 12 of โหลด slotxo the biggest clubs in the continent announced that they were
forming a European Soccer League (ESL), which shocked everyone.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham - were involved,
alongside Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

These would have been permanent members of the league, which they would play in instead of
the UEFA Champions League.

Acting on their own accord, the clubs said in a statement that three more founding members
would be added with five more places available through a qualifying system each year.

This means that there would be something of a “closed shop” at the top level of European football,
placing a bomb in the middle of European football.

However, those plans now appear scuppered as six clubs announced their withdrawal from the ESL
proposal on Tuesday (Apr 20).

There was talk that the EPL could eject the breakaway competition’s six founding members.
