Barcelona, Real Madrid Suspend European Super League Talks For Foreseeable Future

Barcelona and Real Madrid "have assured La Liga officials that they will temporarily suspend any involvement with a breakaway European Super League and remain committed to participating in Spain's domestic division for the foreseeable future," according to Vivek Chaudhary of ESPN.com. La Liga clubs "met in private in Manchester over the past two days to discuss details of how they can forge a more united approach both domestically and internationally as part of their drive to catch up with the growing financial strength of the Premier League." La Liga General Dir of Sales & Marketing Adolfo Bara: "For the time being, Barcelona and Real Madrid have given us an amnesty as far as the European Super League is concerned. For La Liga to grow, we have to grow together and both clubs have told us they are now aligned with us in a more united approach." While in Manchester the clubs "received a series of presentations from Bara and also visited Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, where they were briefed on how clubs can benefit from a more a collective approach to areas such as the sale of television rights and distribution of income." Both of Spain's leading clubs "have been among the leading voices on the controversial European Super League since it was first mooted more than 20 years ago" (ESPN.com, 9/28).
