Chapter 796: Big Surprise! Manchester City were held to a draw at home by Crystal Palace!
Things in the European Super League seem to have moved away from Florentino's vision.
The Guardian revealed that Manchester United and Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur withdrew from the European Super League!
Only Manchester City did not withdraw from the European Super League!
Is Manchester City breaking with the Premier League giants?
Considering the occurrence of the reported incident, it makes sense for Manchester City to break with them.
This news detonated the media, and at the same time, it also ushered in the abuse of fans of Real Madrid, Barcelona and other clubs that have not yet withdrawn from the European Super League, thinking that they are traitors!
"The British are unreliable!"
"Damn the British old! They're just a bunch of cowards! ”
"What else do they have besides being able to fight among themselves?"
"Come on, Manchester City!"
"Manchester City are the bloodiest team in the Premier League!"
"Support Manchester City's bloodshed of Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea!"
Liverpool, Manchester United and other club executives admitted the news before accepting the media:
"We have thought it so much that now is not the time for the European Super League!"
"We're just quitting now, and we may be able to rejoin in the future!"
"We had an in-depth discussion with UEFA and UEFA agreed to make some changes to the Champions League, so we don't think there's a need for the Super League to exist!"
"Our decision can only represent ourselves, the European Super League is beautiful, but there is too much uncertainty in it, so we will withdraw for the time being!"
The European media generally believes that this is a UEFA victory, and more giants should withdraw from the European Super League next!
As for Manchester City......
Speaking to the media, the Manchester City hierarchy said: "We insist because we think UEFA should be reformed and teams like ours are not getting the treatment they deserve!
Until the results of the UEFA penalty are out, we will definitely not withdraw from the European Super League! ”
What does this mean...... If UEFA hadn't fined Manchester City heavily, Manchester City could have withdrawn from the European Super League?!
Real Madrid and other club fans think that they are mistrusting people, and the British are really a raccoon dog!
"Is this threatening us?!"
The UEFA hierarchy is very angry, damn Manchester City, how dare they threaten us?!
"Calm down, everyone! These are extraordinary times, and any decision we make can have serious consequences! I don't think that's a bad thing, we didn't have to pay a big penalty to Manchester City! ”
The crowd felt that this made sense, and they were no longer angry.
But it's really not good to be threatened, it's shaking the authority of UEFA, so ......
Someone said: "Don't they want to win the Champions League? ”
Everyone nodded, if you are disobedient, then I have to give you a little color!
Want to win the Champions League?
There are no doors!
The withdrawal of the Premier League giants from the European Super League has had a very big impact, and then Bayern and Dortmund also withdrew from the European Super League!
The European Super League is crumbling......
