The two Milan giants and Atletico Madrid have followed suit the Premier League big six as they withdraw from the European Super League on Wednesday, leaving the ESL project in the gutters at the moment. 
The withdrawal of the Serie A giants comes some hours after Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal Chelsea and Tottenham had announced their withdrawal, barely 48-hours after the Super League’s unveiling on Sunday night, their announcement was met with by huge resistance from fans, ex-players, UEFA officials, FIFA official and even current footballers.

The three Italian clubs involved — Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan — admitted defeat, with Juve President Andrea Agnelli saying the ESL is no longer achievable and La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid also pulled out.
Real Madrid and Barcelona — the last of the initial group of 12 clubs to sign up — have yet to make any comment but the project in its current form is dead in the water.
AC Milan was one of the main drivers behind the plans, having missed out on the Champions League for the past seven seasons.
The seven-time European champions said the change was necessary due to the changing football landscape but admitted they “must be sensitive to the voice of those who love this wonderful sport”.
Italian champions Juventus said they remained “convinced of the soundness of the project’s sport, commercial and legal premises” but accepted it could not go ahead in its original form.
