Gary Lineker urges Barcelona to prove they are ‘Mes que un Club’

Former Barcelona striker Gary Lineker has urged the Catalans to think again when it comes to joining the controversial new European Super League.

Dani Alves has already spoken out against the new league, and Lineker has added his thoughts on the plan which has already received widespread condemnation.

Here’s what he posted on Twitter on Tuesday:

Come on @FCBarcelona, you’re so much better than this. This is not what you’re about. You’re Més Que Un Club. Prove that’s still true.

La Liga president Javier Tebas has also had his say and is, predictably, fuming at the prospect of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid becoming part of the breakaway league.
