Top teams from the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga have formed a breakaway league of their own
Football enthusiasts have taken to social media to question the creation of the European Super League by the top clubs in England, Italy and Spain.
The idea of the European Super League first broke out in 2018, but Fifa responded with threats to sanction any player or club involved in the breakaway competition.
However, rumours about the new competition gained momentum on Sunday after Uefa, Premier League, Serie A, European Club Association and other football governing bodies issued statements to condemn the creation.
Late on Sunday night, Liverpool confirmed they have joined the competition alongside AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur
In reacting to the news, fans in Africa stated the Super League will undermine the competitiveness of the Champions League while some see it as a way of seeing their club compete with the best teams in the world.
The idea behind the Super League is completely money driven.

Arsenal want to join the super league with Elneny and Willian still in the team.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

This life is just funny so you mean Arsenal FC that hasn’t qualified for the CL in over 5years and plays like a bottom-tier club these days, wants to join a super league? Like for what bloody reason? Utter disgrace.

FIFA is fighting hard against the Super League.Because creating an International league that is not Under FIFA with likely take away the glory from UEFA Champions league.
But if you ask me the Super League is a great a idea.We all want to see top clubs in Europe face each other.— Daniel Chukwudalu🇳🇬 (@DaDanielRules) April 18, 2021

The proposed nonsense called European Super League tells you the mindset of the rich and mighty with zero values. Always looking for a way to deepen and widen the lacuna between them and the lesser ones. A sick mindset! Florentino Perez and his bereft friends should be ashamed!

Let’s not forget that the reason @UEFA is opposing the European Super league is solely because they see them as a threat not that they really care about smaller clubs. They couldn’t protect small clubs financially and FFP was very biased.

The European Super league is purely a money making proposal, it’s going to make football worse than it was before.

European Super League won’t be fair on upcoming teams most especially in @premierleague where we hv more competition amongst clubs. However, I need to know @ChelseaFC stand on this before I make any further comment.
