Shares in French soccer club Olympique Lyon slipped on Monday after twelve of Europe's top clubs launched a breakaway Super League, marking what could be a bitter battle for control of the game and its lucrative revenue.

The breakaway Super League will feature six clubs from England's Premier League -- Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur -- along with Spain's Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and Italy's Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan.
