AC Milan on Wednesday joined
Juventus and Inter Milan in saying it had pulled out of the
now-aborted Super League saying it had shown sensitivity to what
fans had said in their opposition to the planned elite European
competition.
"The voices and the concerns of fans around the world have
clearly been expressed about the Super League, and AC Milan must
be sensitive to the voice of those who love this wonderful
sport," the Rossoneri said in a statement published on their
website.
The club explained that it had "accepted the invitation to
participate in the Super League project with the genuine
intention to deliver the best possible European competition for
football fans around the world and in the best interest of the
club and our own fans."
It said "change is not always easy, but evolution is necessary
for progress, and the structures of European football have
evolved and changed over the decades."
The statement concluded by saying "we will continue to work hard
to deliver a sustainable model for football."
