MADRID (AP) â Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus all dropped out of the Super League on Wednesday, leaving the new competition essentially extinct before it even started.
Only Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona are still officially involved.
The moves by Atlético, Inter, AC Milan and Juventus came a day after the six Premier League clubs involved in the project made it unviable by giving up on the controversial breakaway competition.
English clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham deserted plans for the largely-closed competition amid an escalating backlash from their supporters and warnings from the government that legislation could be introduced to thwart them.
