Just when it seemed to have gone away for good, the European Super League (ESL) is back in the news again. Two and a half years ago, the initial ESL proposal came out of the blue with 12 of Europe's biggest clubs - six from England, three from Spain and three from Italy - going all in before most backed down in the face of enormous opposition from stakeholders and, more importantly, the fans.
However, A22, the organisation behind the plans is back with a fresh take on the concept. Here we explain the latest developments and what happens next.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg ruled that Fifa and Uefa had "abused a dominant position" and had acted unlawfully by threatening the Super League founder clubs and, potentially, their players with sanctions and bans from their competitions.
The ECJ called Fifa and Uefa's rules "harmful" to clubs, media companies and fans and they amounted to a restriction of trade.
