Tuesday 19:00 BST: 'We don't like it and we don't want it to happen'​

 
As Chelsea warmed up for their match against Brighton, and fans gathered outside Stamford Bridge to protest, the BBC learned Manchester City were to pull out of the ESL - and that Chelsea were considering following suit.
 
At 20:00 BST, Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said he would resign at the end of 2021, and Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson posted on social media that his side's "collective position" was against the breakaway.
 
His message - "We don't like it and we don't want it to happen" - was also posted by many of his Liverpool team-mates.
 
The pressure had built, the cracks had begun to show, and then the dam burst.
 
From 22:45 BST, all six of the Premier League teams involved in the ESL announced they were to formally withdraw from the competition.
 
Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy spoke for many when he welcomed the move.
 
Uefa president Ceferin said the six English clubs were "back in the fold", adding: "The important thing now is that we move on, rebuild the unity that the game enjoyed before this and move forward together."
 
In a statement released at 07:30 BST it said: "Despite the announced departure of the English clubs, forced to take such decisions due to the pressure put on them, we are convinced our proposal is fully aligned with European law and regulations as was demonstrated today by a court decision to protect the Super League from third-party actions."
