""With UEFA, we have returned to the football family, definitively leaving the Super League," Laporta told Barça's official media channels. "We have left because it's a project that could not be implemented. It had unravelled. There were only expenses and expenses; no benefits. "The relationship with Real Madrid is not good and it was a permanently uncomfortable situation. "Barça have acted correctly and with complete transparency. We are looking for sustainability in European football and want to contribute to the peace of football.""
"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 LaLiga sides Madrid and Barça as the lone faces of the project."
Barcelona officially withdrew from the European Super League and restored relations with UEFA and the European Football Clubs. President Joan Laporta said the Super League could not be implemented, had unraveled, and produced only expenses without benefits. Laporta described relations with Real Madrid as not good and permanently uncomfortable. Barcelona stated it acted transparently and seeks sustainability in European football while contributing to peace in the sport. The Super League launched in 2021 with 12 founding clubs but lost most supporters after fan backlash, leaving only Real Madrid and Barcelona tied to the rebranded Unify League, which failed to gain significant support.
