FC Barcelona have officially announced their withdrawal from the European Super League project. The club were among the driving forces behind the proposal when it was launched in 2021 with the backing of 12 of Europe’s biggest clubs, but following widespread backlash, teams quickly pulled out. Real Madrid are now the only club remaining in the project.





Hey, @RorySmith, when @JackPittBrooke said your 1st attempt at the opening joke on @podcast_libero was “too edgy”, what he meant was “completely wrong”. Friedrich Paulus was the German commander @ Stalingrad, not Leningrad! Frankly, don’t know if I can enjoy the pod anymore.
