Even if six rebellious clubs have not yet laid down their arms, UEFA is winning the war against the Super League.

Dropped by the six English clubs, the rival private competition of the Champions League has indeed lost Tuesday night half of its founders.

The twelve mutinous clubs, led by Real Madrid and Juventus Turin, therefore exploded in full flight so thunderously as they had seceded on the night from Sunday to Monday. Manchester City were the first to give in, announcing in a statement that they had "formally launched the procedure to withdraw from the group responsible for developing the European Super League project".

The other five English clubs followed: Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal initially at the end of the evening, followed two hours later by Chelsea who found that "his participation would not serve the interests of the club, of its supporters and the wider football community ”.

"We made a mistake and we apologize for that", for his part acknowledged Arsenal in a statement, summing up in one sentence what supporters, authorities and governments have been striving to point out for two days.

UEFA president "delighted"

An incredible turnaround came to relieve UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, who said he was "delighted to welcome City's return to the European football family", in a statement sent before the defections of other top footballers. Premier League.

The promoters of the Super League, however, do not completely let go, while appearing to be ready for concessions.

They have indeed responded to the announcements of the English clubs by publishing a press release in which they explain that they will "reconsider the most appropriate steps to reshape the project".

But the Super League, led by Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, now seems to be completely nipped in the bud.
