In England they criticize Barça

On Sunday, twelve teams were part of the twelve founding members of the European Super League. Now there are only two left, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​inside the boat. The first to leave were the six English (Manchester United, City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham), followed by the three Italians (Inter, Milan and Juventus) and Atlético de Madrid. The war with UEFA remains open and threats towards the pioneers of the idea have made the two giants of our football battle hand in hand.

Barça, in a statement, showed its support for its great rival and this declaration of intent has been criticized in the country where the collapse of the Super League began to take root: England. There, Gary Neville has been one of the most critical personalities in all moment and responded to the publication in Twitter of the Barcelona with an accusatory message: “These great clubs act like gangsters”. The former United player was joined by Gary Lineker, who wore the elastic Blaugrana between 1986 and 1989: “Tremendously disappointing statement”.

Lineker was already especially disappointed with his ex when he found out that they were part of the members of the new competition and he showed it through a tweet: “Come on Barcelona, ​​you are much better than this. You're not like that, you're 'More than a Club', show it. “ This line has also been followed by the BBC presenter Dan Walker, who responded to the statement by asking: “More than a club?”.

A report by the consulting firm 'Ipsos' illuminated a reality that was already sensed, within the general feeling against the Super League, England was the country among the five where the major leagues are played that most strongly rejected the project. Curiously, Spain, still against it, is where, according to this poll, the most lukewarm opposition was found.
