Barcelona president Joan Laporta believes a reinvention of the European Super League is needed to combat the "financial doping" of state-owned clubs in football.
Speaking at Barcelona's general assembly meeting on Sunday afternoon, Laporta outlined his 'solution' to solving the financial problems of the European game. Insisting a new version of the infamous competition would not protect its founding members, who had previously been shielded from relegation in the initial drawn-up plans back in April 2021.
Twelve leading European clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United, were part of the inaugural plans for the European Super League.
