What was said?
Agnelli conceded with the withdrawal of clubs that the Super League could no longer continue.
“To be honest and honest no, that’s clearly not the case,” Agnelli said when asked if the Super League could still happen.
“I remain convinced of the beauty of that project, of the value it would develop into the pyramid, of the creation of the best competition in the world, but apparently not.
“I do not think the project is still going on.”
What has Agnelli said before?
“There is a blood treaty between the clubs, we are moving forward,” he told Italian store La Republica on Tuesday.
“This project has a 100 percent chance of success.”
The European Super League also issued a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning saying it would “reconsider steps to reform the project” following growing opposition and the withdrawal of English clubs.
What happened on Tuesday?
The six English clubs involved in the creation of a European Super League have all withdrawn from the proposed breakaway tournament and Inter Milan have also said they are no longer interested in the current project.
Manchester City became the first team to halt the project on Tuesday night, and Chelsea have also announced that they are taking steps to end their involvement.
They were later followed by Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal, who all confirmed their withdrawal from the Super League in club statements.
Manchester United executive vice-president Ed Woodward also resigned during a night of high drama, prompting controversial Super League plans.
Why?
The six Premier League teams involved in the Super League project all came under great pressure to walk away.
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager, and Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, both spoke out against the project, while there were protests outside Stamford Bridge ahead of Chelsea’s goalless draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
The other 14 Premier League clubs also held an emergency meeting on Tuesday and subsequently issued a statement rejecting the project.
On Wednesday morning, Liverpool owner John W Henry apologized to all Liverpool fans for the club’s involvement in the Super League proposals.
