The long-running Super League saga may finally be reaching its conclusion—at least for FC Barcelona.
Once considered one of the pivotal clubs supporting Florentino Pérez’s bold breakaway project,
the Catalan giants are now seriously evaluating a full withdrawal from the competition.
According to reports from RAC1, corroborated by several reliable sources, Joan Laporta and his board are increasingly convinced that severing ties with the Super League is the best course of action.
What was once pitched as a revolutionary step forward for elite clubs is now seen by Barcelona’s hierarchy as
counterproductive and damaging to their long-term strategy.
Why the Sudden Change?
The shift stems from Barcelona’s renewed relationship with UEFA. Unlike in 2021, when tensions between the club and European football’s governing body were at their peak, today the mood is very different. Barcelona is openly supportive of the new Champions League format, which promises:
More matches across the season
Substantial increases in revenueExpanded international visibility for clubs and players
These reforms address many of the concerns that originally fueled the push for a Super League.
For Laporta and his team, continuing to back a project with little momentum no longer makes sense.
A Symbol of Reconciliation
Perhaps the clearest signal of this new dynamic came during Barça’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain, when UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin was spotted in the Montjuïc presidential box.
His presence was more than symbolic—it underlined the thawing of relations and both sides’ willingness to rebuild trust after years of conflict.
Madrid Left Standing Alone
If Barcelona makes its withdrawal official in the coming weeks, it would leave Real Madrid as the
last major club clinging to the Super League vision. Florentino Pérez remains its most vocal champion, but with most of Europe’s giants having already distanced themselves, the project’s credibility is hanging by a thread.
Barcelona’s potential exit would mark a historic turning point—signaling the near-certain demise of a competition that, despite its bold promises, failed to unite the football world behind it.
