"In an official statement, FC Barcelona have announced that they are walking away from the European Super League project for good. "FC Barcelona hereby announces that today it has formally notified the European Super League Company and the clubs involved of its withdrawal from the European Super League project." Along with Real Madrid, the Blaugrana were the last standing member of the rogue league, which has been a dream project of Florentino Perez."
"The Super League's aim was to give elite clubs greater control over revenue streams and offer an alternative to UEFA's Champions League. The plan sparked immediate outrage. Fans, football authorities and governments condemned it as a closed-shop competition threatening the sport's competitive balance. Within 48 hours, nine of the twelve founding members had withdrawn, leaving only Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Juventus still committed, before the Bianconeri also backed away."
FC Barcelona has formally notified the European Super League Company and the clubs involved of its withdrawal from the European Super League project. Barcelona and Real Madrid had been the last remaining members of the breakaway competition envisioned by Florentino Perez. The Super League was unveiled in April 2021 as a proposal by twelve top European clubs to secure greater revenue control and serve as an alternative to UEFA's Champions League. The plan provoked immediate outrage from fans, football authorities and governments over its closed-shop nature and threat to competitive balance. Barcelona had distanced itself from the project, strengthened ties with UEFA and the ECA, and now officially exits, isolating Real Madrid.
