Manchester City Chief Executive Ferran Soriano apologized 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 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 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.
Soriano said the club's owners, chairman, board and staff were committed to ensuring the well-being of the English and European football pyramids.
