Atletico Madrid have ruled out joining the rebel European Super League.

Atletico have released a statement after the European Court of Justice ruled in the ESL's favour.

Atltico de Madrid, after analyzing the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union, wants to state the following:

"1. The resolution on the prior authorization framework for other competitions refers to old UEFA statutes that were already modified in June 2022.

"2. The European Club Association (ECA) and UEFA have created a partnership that makes the consideration that UEFA is a monopoly meaningless, since the clubs, by virtue of the agreements adopted within this joint partnership ( joint venture), they decide 50/50 to whom the sponsorship and television rights are sold and the distribution of said income, as well as the competition formats.

"3. The European football family does not want the European Super League. Germany, France, England, Italy, Spain (except for Real Madrid and Barcelona), etc. They don't want the Super League. We are in favor of protecting the great family of European football, of protecting the domestic leagues and through them achieving qualification for European competitions on the field of play each season."
