FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reaffirmed his club's support of the European Super League project, claiming it is needed because of 'state clubs' such as Manchester City.
The infamous Super League project shook the footballing world in April 2021, when 12 of Europe's leading clubs announced they had agreed to join a breakaway league to rival the UEFA Champions League.
However, the project received widespread opposition from fans, managers, players and other clubs, largely due to the way it's closed-door nature would damage the rest of the footballing ecosystem. Within days nine of the founding clubs - including City - pulled out of the project due to the backlash, but Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus remain committed to the cause.
