The European Super League got a major victory today as the existence of the league would not be considered illegal according to the ECJ.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled against UEFA and FIFA as their actions were deemed illegal, asserting that prior approval rules were in violation of EU law.
Chelsea are not expected to get back into the Super League anyway, after new rules forbidding Premier League clubs from joining unlicensed competitions were put in place.
Here is what Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali has said about the ESL last October.
"I think the sport needs more premium high quality matches and content but it doesn't have to be a Super League.
"Todd [Boehly] went there on an All-Star Game, the baseball talent competition or draft generates £200million to £300million of revenue on a Monday or Tuesday each year, none of that exists in the EPL.
"Could there be an EPL versus Serie A game? Could you see pre-season matches producing more premium content on the pitch? You could.
"But structurally, given how botched that episode was does anybody have any appetite for something like that? A couple of teams in Spain do and they are vocal about it, but everyone else doesn't want to go there anymore."
