Super League founder Agnelli reveals ‘the project cannot go on’

The football world has been living one of its most iconic moments in history. What was thought to be the revolution of football, is now suspended because of the pressure from fans, captains and coaches of the beautiful game.

Most recently, European Super League founder and Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli has revealed in an interview with Sky Sports Italia that their project cannot continue with so few clubs left in the competition.

“Honestly, I don’t think the project can go on with 5 or 6 clubs. I wouldn’t think about where that project has gone,” said Agnelli, before continuing:

“I remain convinced of the beauty of that project, of the value it would’ve developed in the pyramid, of the creation of the best competition in the world, but admittedly no (the project won’t go on), I don’t think that project (ESL) is now up and running.”

The Super League have already announced in an official statement that the competition is suspended – for now.

After the 6 English giants have left the new initiative, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan have followed. Currently, only Barça, Juventus, AC Milan, and Real Madrid remain in the Super League, but all four are expected to leave in the coming hours as well.

Now, it looks like UEFA is set to punish all of the founding teams. Whether that would be a fine, deduction of League points, Champions League bans, or any other form of suspension, remains to be seen.
