LONDON, ENGLAND - 20 April 2021: Former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech calls for calm as fans gather to protest the introduction of the European Super League on April 20, 2021 in London, United Kingdom. Six English Premier League teams have announced they are part of plans for a breakaway European Super League. Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur will join 12 other European teams in a closed league similar to that of the NFL American Football League. In a statement released last night, the new competition "is intended to commence as soon as practicable" potentially in August. (Photo by Charlotte Wilson/Offside/Offside via Getty Images)
