Barcelona have announced that they are formally leaving The Superleague project, leaving Real Madrid as the last remaining side backing the idea. The project, which was initially announced in 2021 with 12 teams, has been down to just the Clasico duo for some time.

Following the exit of the six Premier League teams that were involved initially, the Italian sides were followed by Atletico Madrid, and finally Juventus the year after. Intense fan protests in England kicked off the exits, and Juventus decided it was not in their best interests.
