Ceferin ‘wouldn’t mind’ if Barcelona left the Champions League

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has taken aim at the three European Super League rebels and says he wouldn’t mind if Barcelona, Juventus, and Real Madrid weren’t in the Champions League.

Ceferin also accused the presidents of the three clubs of “trying to kill football” ahead of the start of the group stages of Europe’s top competition next week.

“I would not mind if they left. It is very funny that they want to create a new competition and at the same time they want to play in the Champions League this season,” he said.
