OFFICIAL: Man City leave European Super League

There are now just 11 teams left in the European Super League as Man City have confirmed they are withdrawing from the competition. 

"Manchester City Football Club can confirm that it has formally enacted the procedures to withdraw from the group developing plans for a European Super League," the brief statement read. 

They are the first of the 12 clubs to officially announce their departure from the league which was announced on Sunday night. 

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin welcomed City's U-turn. "I am delighted to welcome City back to the European football family," said the Slovenian, who encouraged the breakaway clubs to realise their mistake earlier on Tuesday.

"They have shown great intelligence in listening to the many voices - most notably their fans - that have spelled out the vital benefits that the current system has for the whole of European football."
