The end of the European Super League story?

The six English clubs signed up for the European Super League announce they've withdrawn

Steve Crossman presents a special episode on an extraordinary night where the six English clubs who signed up for the European Super League announce they have withdrawn from it less than 72 hours after it was created.

The story developed so quickly, we decided the best way to bring it to you was in real-time of how the events unfolded on 5 Live Sport on Tuesday night.

You鈥檒l hear about the scenes outside Stamford Bridge as up to a thousand fans protested ahead of their game with Brighton and from Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel as the club announced they were the first to withdraw.

Former Chelsea player Pat Nevin, Alistair Bruce-Ball, Nottingham Forest striker Glenn Murray and Miguel Delaney, the chief football writer for The Independent, discuss whether this is the end for the European Super League full stop and if the English clubs will face sanctions.

Guillem Balague tells us about the reaction from Europe and 蜜芽传媒 Sport reporter Simon Stone gives us insight into the news that Ed Woodward will stand down as executive vice-chairman of Manchester United.
