The European Super League will go on as scheduled but this time a few changes will be made according to a statement released by the remaining participants.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Inter and AC Milan are reluctant to put an end to the competition following the exit of six English clubs on Tuesday night after team owners and stakeholders were criticized for their unprofitable decision.

The statement further revealed that Manchester City, United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs were forced to leave by the pressure mounted by fans, the British royalty and even the UK government.

They reiterated that the current system is not in favour of clubs and a new format will be introduced to provide the needs of participating clubs following the coronavirus crises.

"We are convinced that the status quo of European football needs a change and we propose a new competition because the current system does not work properly," the remaining clubs had written in a statement.

"Our proposal aims to evolve the football industry and generate added value for the entire pyramid."

"It is, undoubtedly, an excellent opportunity to face the financial difficulties generated by the pandemic, and has been designed with the primary objective of significantly increasing solidarity payments to the entire football family.

"Despite the announced departure of the English clubs from the competition, who were forced to make this decision due to the pressure to which they have been subjected, we are convinced that our proposal is correct and consistent with European regulations."
