With yesterday's announcement, 12 founding members have confirmed the creation of the European Super League, with Barcelona being one of them. UEFA and FIFA have strongly rejected this tournament, so its future is uncertain.
All the information about the competition can be found on their website thesuperleague.com, both the new format of the competition and who the 12 founding clubs are. They expect another 3 to come later and 5 to qualify for the competition. According to some sources, it would start in the next season.
There have been threats by UEFA to all the clubs involved, one of the most harsh ones being the ban of all their players from their national teams. This would mean that Messi wouldn't play the 2022 World Cup or perhaps the 2021 Copa América as well.
This news is all around the globe now, and we may be in front of a new era of football. I will do an entry tomorrow detailing Messi's stats against all of the 12 (minus Barcelona) founding members of the ESL. So until then, I'll see you in the next entry.
