Man City chief Soriano apologises to fans for Super League 'anguish'

Manchester City Chief Executive Ferran Soriano apologised to supporters for the"disappointment, frustration and anguish" caused by the club's involvement in the European Super League.

City were the first of the 12 founders to officially back out of the competition on Tuesday amid a storm of protests from fans, players and the British government, with the other five English clubs quickly following suit.Juventus Chairman Andrea Agnelli said on Wednesday the Super League could no longer go ahead after the English clubs withdrew but Real Madrid President Florentino Perez was adamant that the project was not dead.

"When we makes choices and decisions, we do so with the best interests of the club ... However in making that choice we failed to remind ourselves of the unbreakable link between passion of our fans and right to have the opportunity to earn success.
