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.
"I'm sorry it has taken a little time but the
circumstances have been somewhat exceptional," British media quoted
Soriano as saying in a letter to supporters.
"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.
"The board deeply regrets taking a decision that lost
sight of the historic values of the club. We made a mistake and we sincerely apologize
for the disappointment, frustration and anguish caused by the last 72
hours."
Soriano said that the club's owners, chairman, board and
staff were committed to ensuring the well-being of the English and European
football pyramids.
"We will embrace the opportunity to earn back the full
trust of stakeholders and football family in general," he added.
