Can you imagine a scenario where the Lakers, Bulls, and Celtics ditched the NBA and formed their own breakaway league in the pursuit of making more money? That's the bombshell football is currently digesting after the announcement of a European Super League last night. It is the most significant moment in modern football history. It is scandalous.
Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are the big hitters that have signed up to the new midweek competition, which will replace the current UEFA Champions League. The league will be bankrolled by JP Morgan and talks of its formation have reportedly been taking place since October.
