On Sunday, plans for a European Super League with soccer’s biggest clubs was announced. By Tuesday, those plans appeared dead.
After reports that Chelsea, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona were pulling out of the European Super League, it was beyond clear that the ill-advised breakaway league was never going to come to fruition. All it took was 48 hours of sustained anger from the soccer world, which included actual protests in the streets.
In a sense, it should have been expected that a collective of powerful billionaires and ownership groups got together to create a self-serving league to line their pockets. What was surprising, though, was how quickly that plan fell apart for all the world to see.
And you best believe that Twitter took great pride in the collapse of the Super League.
