Brendan Rodgers slams breakaway European Super League as 'purely a business proposal' and an 'attack on opportunities'... as Leicester boss points to his club's incredible title win in 2016 as proof of what can happen

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has called plans for a European Super League 'purely a business proposal' and an 'attack on people's opportunities'.

The Premier League's so-called 'Big Six' of Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham announced their intention to join a breakaway competition on Sunday.

The Foxes, who shocked English football by winning the title in 2016, have not been invited to take part.
