On 15th June 2021, UEFA officially sent a letter to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) inviting both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona to participate in the upcoming season’s Champions League.
The current UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin who had earlier stated that the teams involved with the European Super League will not be allowed to participate in UEFA Champions League but now however has backed out from his earlier threat to not allow the Spanish giants to participate in the esteemed tournament.
UEFA sends letters to all the European top-tier leagues stating the name of teams invited to participate in the upcoming season’s Champions League campaign. RFEF has also similar letter from UEFA this Tuesday inviting Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in next season’s Champions League campaign.
