India Today
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus are the last ones standing of the 12 clubs that signed up to the breakaway project, only for it to unravel when all six English sides plus Inter Milan, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid withdrew.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has made it clear that the club will not apologise for their role in creating the failed European Super League and will appeal against any punishment from UEFA. "I've told (UEFA president Aleksander) Ceferin that we aren't going to say sorry. And we don't plan on paying any sanctions," Laporta told a news conference on Friday. "If we are sanctioned we'll go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)."
