Barcelona not assured spot in new Club World Cup format - report

Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are assured spots in the new version of the FIFA Club World Cup that will be approved this week, but Barcelona will not have the same luxury, according to Diario AS.

The reason?

The new so-called “Super” Club World Cup will be played in China in June 2021 and will feature more teams than previous editions. For European teams to qualify, they need to have won either the UEFA Europa League or the UEFA Champions League in the 4 years prior.
