Barcelona and Real Madrid have reportedly joined forces against a decision associated with FIFA president Gianni Infantino, according to Goal.com. The item describes the development as a new alliance between the Spanish clubs. However, the supplied source material does not identify the FIFA decision at issue or explain why the clubs oppose it.

It also does not say whether other clubs, leagues or national associations have joined the reported position. No statement from Barcelona, Real Madrid, FIFA or Infantino is provided. The available information therefore supports only the report that the two clubs are aligned in opposition to an Infantino-related decision.

Details of the dispute, its implications for football governance and any next steps are not included.
