BARCELONA, Feb 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Spanish giants Barcelona confirmed their 
withdrawal from the failed European Super League project on Saturday, leaving 
Real Madrid as the only club still involved.

"Barcelona announces that today it has formally notified the European Super 
League project and the clubs that have been part of it, of its withdrawal," 
said the Catalans in a statement.

Barca president Joan Laporta said in October 2025 Barcelona wanted to 
reestablish links with UEFA, moving away from the project launched by 12 
clubs in 2021 which quickly collapsed under the weight of immense fan and 
institutional pressure.
