Barcelona has announced its definitive withdrawal from the Super League project, a controversial initiative that emerged in 2021 aimed at reforming European football. In an official statement on their website, the Catalan club confirmed it had already informed both the European Super League Company and the other participating clubs of its decision. The Super League faced widespread backlash from fans and institutions alike, who criticized the concept of a league that prioritized financial power over competitive results and integrity of the game.

The Super League project was launched with twelve clubs, including Barcelona, with the intention of creating a closed competition that would undermine established tournaments like the UEFA Champions League. Fans of football reacted with disdain, highlighting concerns that such a league would foster inequality and elitism in the sport. The opposition was fierce, leading to a collective condemnation from various football associations and organizations, most notably UEFA, which viewed the Super League as a direct threat to their competitions.

As a result of Barcelona's withdrawal, Real Madrid is now the only club left involved in the project, raising questions about the future viability of the Super League. Barcelona's decision to leave has not been elaborated upon in detail, but it marks a significant moment considering the initial promises made by the founding clubs and the realities of fan engagement and club accountability in modern football.
