Stellar feedback from massive stars can unbind and disperse large amount of molecular gas, affecting the star formation efficiency. Based on ALMA and VLT observations in the Antennae galaxies we study a massive (~ 107 M⊙) and young (~ 3 Myr) SSC, B1, associated with compact molecular and ionized emission, which suggests that it is embedded in its parent cloud. However, we found contradictories and puzzling results on the structure and dynamics of the matter around the cluster, indicating that SSC B1 is not embedded in its parent cloud after all. We propose that radiation pressure was highly enhanced at the early stages of the SSC formation, disrupting the parent cloud in < 3 Myr. We show evidences of outflowing gas from the parent cloud in the more extended CO gas. Higher angular resolution observations are needed to validate this interpretation and to understand the origin and fate of the component seen to be associated with SSC B1.
