Nine of the 12 founder members of the short-lived European Super League rejoined the European Club Association (ECA) on Monday, but Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus remain outside the influential group as they continue to back the breakaway project.
The ECA said that Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan, along with all six English clubs involved in the breakaway — Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur — had been reinstated after acknowledging that a Super League “was not in the interests of the wider football community”.
The ECA called it “a regrettable and turbulent episode for European football” and also acknowledged the clubs’ “willingness to engage actively with the ECA in its collective mission to develop European club football –- in the open and transparent interests of all, not the few.” He insisted the Super League would mean “financial sustainability for the clubs and make for a more attractive competition”.
