The European Super League is a proposed new midweek football competition, which will rival the Champions League.

Twelve big clubs have already signed up including Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.

Fans of the Champions League, the Premier League, and of smaller clubs feel the move will have a massive negative impact on the sport.
