Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have insisted that they are still keen to start up the European Super League.
After their original proposal to start a European Super League collapsed following protests in April 2021, the case was referred to the European Court of Justice by Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus.
The three clubs have argued that UEFA, FIFA and other governing bodies had contravened the European Union's competition law by attempting to block players and clubs from joining the Super League.
However, it was recently announced that advocate general Athanasios Rantos ruled in favour of the governing bodies, and in the process, dealt a blow to the two La Liga sides and Juventus.
Despite suffering a setback, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus are still determined to continue with their attempts to start up a new competition.
In a statement, Barcelona said: "FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta, the president of Real Madrid Florentino Perez and Bernd Reichart, CEO of A22 Sport, the promoters of the Super League, met on Friday in Madrid to continue to explore new avenues to reform European Football.
"The meeting took place as part of the 'New Economic Forum' conference in which A22 Sport CEO Bernd Reichart was taking part."
A22 Sports, who are the promoters of the European Super League, also released a short statement to highlight their commitment to work on the proposal.
"We are continuing to work to reform European football, to improve competitiveness, sustainability and governance.
"We are talking to many clubs across 10 different countries who share our view of the challenges faced by the sport. Standing still cannot be an option."
Rantos' verdict was a non-binding decision, and the final verdict is expected in Spring of next year.
