BARCELONA – Barcelona confirmed on Monday, through a statement, its entry into the European Super League as one of the founders.
FC Barcelona announces that it has reached an agreement with eleven other of the most important football clubs in Europe to form a new league, the Super League, which will be controlled by the Founding Clubs and that it was born with the will to the best club-level competitive sports in the world, ” the club said in its statement, in which it took the opportunity not to draw a scenario of confrontation with the official bodies in the first person, which is already opposed to its creation responded, ensuring that the clubs “The founders hope to soon have talks with UEFA and FIFA to find the best solutions for the Super League and for all of world football.”
Consulted by ESPN Deportes, sources from the Barça club preferred not to disclose the moves that will take place in the future, waiting primarily for the UEFA executive committee meeting and trusting, as expressed in the statement in the findings of agreement between the parties to avoid a split.
It was recalled from Camp Nou that the new board found a very embryonic outline of what Josep Maria Bartomeu announced on his retirement, when he stated during his dismissal statement that his board agreed to “the requirements to be part of a European Super League”, Abandoned Naturally, participation in the competition must be “endorsed by the next meeting of delegates” and clarify that this step “ensures that the club remains a member.”
During the election campaign, however, Joan Laporta was against the creation of the SuperLiga and expressed his point of view in an interview with Cadena Cope. “I believe the European League is taking on the football business. It’s just a matter of money … I don’t have in-depth information on how the league will be organized, but I’m more like not everything is money, because maybe I think you are going to make a lot of money, you are going to load the business, what football is, what are the essentials of football, this wonderful sport that helps a community to be proud of its team, so that there are some very nice relationships … I think the Super League could take it off him. “
However, the scenario has changed at Camp Nou and Barcelona, that the need to give both an economic and a sporting impetus to the maximum continental competition, along with the eleven remaining clubs, should officially ratify the project, knowing that it will could present said project to partners for approval … Something that did not happen when the Euroleague basketball was founded in 2000.
