Barcelona boss Koeman: UEFA focused on money, not listening to players, managers

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has said UEFA are only focused on money and are ignoring managers and players after some of the game's biggest clubs tried to break away from European football's governing body this week.

Barca were one of 12 teams from Spain, England and Italy to announce their involvement in a European Super League on Sunday. That project has since crumbled after all six English sides involved pulled out on Tuesday.

UEFA, meanwhile, this week passed a resolution to expand the Champions League from 32 teams to 36, which will see teams play 10 group games instead of the six they currently play.
