'Important we stand our ground': Players and fans condemn European Super League
CNN
Players and fans of Liverpool and Leeds United took a stand against the European Super League, the controversial competition that is expected to change the face of football, during the sides' Premier League game on Monday.
Fan protests were held outside Leeds' Elland Road stadium and a banner that read "#saynotosuperleague" was flown over the ground before kickoff. On the pitch, Leeds players wore shirts with the words "Football is for the fans" and "Earn it" alongside a Champions League logo during their warmup -- a reference to teams having to qualify to play in the Champions League, which wouldn't be the case for founding clubs of the Super League.More Related News
