FC Barcelona Withdraws From The European Super League Project
3 hours ago
FC Barcelona has formally notified the European Super League Company and the clubs involved of its withdrawal from the European Super League project.
The Super League originally launched in 2021 with the support of 12 of Europe’s biggest clubs, but a fan backlash in England quickly saw the six Premier League teams — Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur — withdraw.
Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan and, eventually, Juventus followed suit, leaving just Real Madrid and Barça as the faces of the project. However, following the souring of the relationship with Madrid in recent months, coupled with the Barça president, Joan Laporta, re-establishing links with UEFA and the European Football Clubs [EFC], the Catalan side have now also stepped away.
