Barcelona president Joan Laporta is pointing the finger of blame at Manchester United and Liverpool for the ill-fated European Super League.
Twelve of the biggest teams in European football tried to create their own breakaway league in April.
After fan and government backlash, the plans were cancelled in less than 48 hours following the withdrawal of the six Premier League teams that had initially agreed to participate.
Laporta claimed, per The Sun: “Liverpool and United were the real founders of the Super League.
“UEFA threatened and was demagogic. The clubs have still not paid the compensation for leaving.
“The Super League project is alive. It will be the most attractive competition in the world, and it will be based on meritocracy and solidarity.”
