Updated, 3:50 Am: Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli has said that the proposed Super League project will not go ahead after Italian club Inter Milan and Spanish side Atletico Madrid joined six English teams in withdrawing their participation.
“I remain convinced of the beauty of that project, of the value that it would have developed to the pyramid, of the creation of the best competition in the world, but evidently no. I don’t think that project is now still up and running,” Agnelli commented, as per the BBC. The plan now appears to be dead in the water, with more than half of the original sides behind the proposition having bailed.
Updated, 7:35 Pm: The announced European Super League appears to be crumbling. By late today, all six of the English Premier League clubs involved in the widely panned venture — Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea — had pulled out.

Twelve of Europes’s leading soccer clubs have confirmed their agreement to establish a new mid-week competition, the Super League.
The seismic and highly controversial proposals, which involve the game’s biggest clubs such as Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus, have dominated European news services this evening.
AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have all joined as Founding Clubs. It is expected that three more clubs will join ahead of the inaugural season, which is intended to start as soon as possible.
The idea is that teams will continue to compete in their respective national leagues. However, this notion has been rejected by national bodies such as the Premier League in the UK.
Among major clubs not to sign up to the plan have been German giant Bayern Munich and French champions Psg.
