AC Milan make Super League statement as club legend Maldini apologises to 'betrayed' fans

The club's technical director and former defender insisted he had nothing to do with the breakaway proposal

AC Milan technical director Paolo Maldini has apologised for the club's involvement in the Super League, and insisted he was not part of the planning process.

Milan were one of 12 teams in the proposed competition, which was confirmed on Sunday but had all but collapsed by Tuesday.

Eight of the 12 teams have withdrawn from the Super League, though Milan stopped short of officially withdrawing in a statement published on Wednesday.
