Last night the news came that all six Premier League clubs that were intended to play in the Super League are withdrawing.
Manchester City were the first to confirm that they are dropping out of the newly started project and then Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham hooked on.
- I'm absolutely not surprised.
There has been a lot of pressure on these clubs, which have come together from the whole football family.
They were really just waiting for the team to drop off one by one and quite rightly, the English clubs captured their senses, says SVT Sports expert Daniel Nannskog.
A way to pressure Uefa
He believes that the Super League is a way to put pressure on the European football association Uefa.
- It feels like you are not happy with the financial distribution in the Champions League, that you are not allowed to take more of the cake.
Right from the start when I heard about the Super League, I did not think the league would get rid of but saw it more as a threat, he says.
Do you think we will see any similar attempts in the coming years?
- No I do not think so.
Football is based on smaller teams having the chance to meet the big teams.
It was what drove me when I played, what tickled me.
And that's the football you've learned to love.
Several teams are rumored to drop out
According to rumors, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Milan, Inter and Juventus are also about to follow the English clubs.
The Super League was launched late last Sunday.
The project means that twelve major European clubs from Great Britain, Italy and Spain break away and create their own, closed league.
In connection with that, Uefa and Fifa collapsed.
The decision has also received much criticism from fans of the prospective clubs.
