One by one, several Italian and Premier League clubs joined the project and the league almost grew to 15 teams. However, there was a lot of backlash from fans of all clubs who didn’t want the competition to materialize. In the end, all of the clubs gave in and the plan was dropped.

The Spaniard did mention that they were going to change the format of the competition and don’t want to destroy any domestic leagues. Moreover, he also added that clubs like Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain have no competition in the terms of money, and the other clubs want to fight against that.

We cannot allow European football to be in the hands of states that do not belong to the European Union. It is clear that [Manchester] City and PSG have a money-making machine, and we are fighting against that,” he added.
