Barcelona and Real Madrid are amongst the clubs in support of the ESL
LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid have become the first club to reject the European Super League following the verdict of the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
Atletico Madrid’s statement
A statement from the club on Thursday read:
“Atlético de Madrid, after analyzing the ruling of the European Court of Justice, would like to express the following:
“1. The resolution regarding the framework for prior authorization of other competitions refers to outdated UEFA statutes that were already amended in June 2022.

“2. The European Club Association (ECA) and UEFA have established a partnership that renders the consideration of UEFA as a monopoly meaningless. Through agreements within this joint venture, clubs decide 50% on the sale of sponsorship and television rights, revenue distribution, and competition formats.
“3. The European football community does not support the European Super League. Germany, France, England, Italy, Spain (except for Real Madrid and Barcelona), etc. oppose the Super League. We advocate for protecting the broader European football family, preserving domestic leagues, and securing qualification for European competitions through on-field performance each season.”
La Liga’s official social media account reacted to the news, branding the ESL
“a selfish and elitist model”.
