Manchester City have withdrawn from the European Super League and Chelsea are also preparing to do so.

Efforts to leave come just two days after both were announced as two of six English clubs to sign up to the controversial new competition.

Other teams included are Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Tottenham, Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.

The idea of the Super League was condemned by football authorities and government ministers in the UK and across Europe by UEFA and league associations.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino "strongly disapproves" of the breakaway European Super League and says the 12 clubs will have to "live with the consequences" of their decision to join.
