In April 2021, Manchester City was one of the biggest clubs to join the proposed European Super League. Many saw it as a betrayal to the supporters and fans. City’s manager Pep Guardiola, who has been carrying the responsibility to make the team win the Champions League, also condemned the decision. However, many sources confirmed that Manchester City, along with fellow English club Chelsea, were manipulated into joining the European Super League, hence after extensive backlash from the fans on social media, the football authorities, the Premier League, and the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the club eventually, backed out from the proposed multi-million-dollar league. Chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak confirmed that they didn't know what they were getting themselves into and it was a mistake that would never be repeated again.
