MADRID – Real Madrid on Wednesday announced the club had reached an agreement to end its long-standing conflict with UEFA over the possible creation of a European Super League.

The club announced the agreement with a post on its official website reading “UEFA, European Football Clubs and Real Madrid CF reach agreement for the good of European club football.”

The statement says that after “months of discussions conducted in the best interests of European football, UEFA, European Football Clubs (EFC), and Real Madrid CF announce that they have reached an agreement of principles for the well-being of European club football, respecting the principle of sporting merit with emphasis on long-term club sustainability and the enhancement of fan experience through the use of technology.”

Real Madrid adds that the agreement will also end any legal dispute with Europa over the Super League.

The news comes just a few days after FC Barcelona announced it was leaving the Super League project, which was originally established in 2021, on Feb 7.

The original 12 team project was quickly in trouble when pressure from fans saw the Premier League clubs withdraw, along with Atletico Madrid and the Italian sides.

That left Real Madrid and FC Barcelona as the only survivors of the project and Barcelona’s withdrawal left Real Madrid alone and with no chance of a Super League taking place, so for all of the words in Wednesday’s communique, this is a huge defeat for the club and its president, Florentino Perez.
