Boris Johnson threatened to change British law to block the proposed European breakaway soccer league comprising the world’s richest clubs, which include six from England he accused of acting like a “cartel.”
Johnson and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden held a meeting Tuesday with U.K. football authorities and fan groups, at which the prime minister said the government supports all actions necessary to stop the league from proceeding. At a press conference later, he criticized the breakaway clubs and their plan.
