UEFA have doubled down on their Super League rejection after ambushing the controversial project's promoters off-in an "incredible" two-and-a-half hour meeting.
The idea of a breakaway European Super League was unanimously rejected by fans in October last year and that led to the six Premier League representatives pulling out, alongside Inter, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid. But Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has refused to admit defeat while Barcelona and Juventus are yet to formally withdraw.
Talks of a revamped competition have been rife and UEFA invited A22 Sports - the promoters of the proposed competition - to a meeting on Tuesday. But according to CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs, they caught the promoters – who expected a one-on-one meeting with UEFA president Alexander Ceferin – off-guard.
