It seems like a matter of time before the Super League is canceled. According to the English journalist Ben Jacobs, Atlético Madrid has made the decision to leave the controversial competition. Furthermore, Barcelona president Joan Laporta has announced in the Spanish media that the socio’s of the club will have the final say on participation in the Super League: without the supporters’ yes, Barça will not participate. According to talkSPORT The twelve clubs of the Super League are currently discussing the dissolution of the league.
The news from, among others, the BBC, The Times and the Guardian Chelsea being the first club to distance themselves from the Super League has created a snowball effect. Shortly after that message was brought The Sun out that Manchester City is behind Chelsea and also wants to stop the Super League. The news about City has since been confirmed by Sky Sports. Rumors are now seeping through that Manchester United also wants to leave.
It’s not just the English teams rapidly pulling out … senior sources at Atletico Madrid tell me they are OUT, too.

(??) JUST IN: Joan Laporta will not finalize Barcelona’s entry into the Super League until they have received the approval from socios. Without their ‘OK’, the Catalan Club won’t take part in the competition. @xavitorresll #ESL
