Fans protest against European Super League at Elland Road
Supporters held banners to protest against the European Super League outside Elland Road on Monday night.
A plane flew across Elland Road protesting against the European Super League a few minutes before Liverpool took on Leeds away from home.
The decision was a confirmation that football fans have made their feelings clear on the proposed European Super League plans at Elland Road tonight.

Hundreds of supporters also gathered outside of Elland Road and protested the formation of the League as #LEELIV was ongoing holding banners registering their displeasures.
Reports were confirmed on Sunday that Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham intend to join the rebel competition.
The Premier quickly released a statement on Sunday evening that it is not in support of the approach and accepting the proposal of a super league "will undermine the appeal of the whole game and have a deeply damaging impact on the immediate and future prospects of the Premier League and its member clubs, and all those in football who rely on our funding and solidarity to prosper. "
