Barcelona make European Super League vow after Joan Laporta and Florentino Perez talks

Barcelona and Real Madrid have pledged to continue working on a European Super League after a European Court of Justice (ECJ) vote in favour of UEFA.

The Spanish giants and Juventus are still trying to revive the doomed Super League, which aimed to create a closed shop of elite clubs and thus disregarded the traditional European football pyramid. It collapsed with 48 hours of its launch in April 2021 due to protests.

Barcelona and Real claim they are in talks with "many clubs cross 10 different countries who share our views of the challenges faced by the sport" - which suggests there is support for a Super League. They have not provided the names of these clubs, however.
