European Super League To Be Revived? Barca President Responds!

European Super League To Be Revived? Barca President Responds!

Joan Laporta

FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta says the controversial European Super League could be a 'reality' in two years.

The Super League was launched in 2020 with 12 major European clubs all announcing their intention to compete in the breakaway league.

However, the 'big six' in the Premier League all pulled out shortly after the backlash from supporters and pundits in England.

The footballing world will await the verdict from the court to decided whether UEFA's attempts to prevent the league breached European competition law.

With the announcement a few months away, Laporta claims the dream of the Super League is still very much alive.

"This Spring we'll have the verdict on the Super League. For clubs, it will be like what the Bosman ruling [which allowed footballers to move on a free transfer at the end of their contracts] meant for players," Laporta told Cadena SER Radio.

"If the decision is favourable, the Super League could be a reality by 2025. If it isn't, the steps we decide to take will depend on what the verdict says. The degree of the victory will dictate what we can do with the Super League."

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus are the only remaining teams left that are still pushing for the breakaway league.
