Atletico Madrid have just withdrawn from the European Super League.
The Spanish Football club released a statement on Wednesday morning, which reads: “The board of directors, meeting this Wednesday morning, has decided to formally communicate to the Super League and the rest of the founding clubs its decision not to finally formalise its adherence to the project.
“Atletico de Madrid made the decision last Monday to join this project in response to circumstances that no longer exist today.
“For the club, harmony is essential between all the groups that make up the ‘rojiblanca’ family, especially our fans.
“The first-team squad and their coach have shown their satisfaction with the club’s decision, understanding that sporting merits must prevail over any other criteria.”
