Barcelona have joined La Liga rivals Real Madrid in an attempt to rekindle hope of creating a European Super League.
And Barca president Joan Laporta believes they aren't pushing for change due to the financial benefits but actually because they deem it to be better for the interests of the clubs. The Super League concept fell flat last year with many of the continents top clubs now distancing themselves from the idea.
However Laporta remains on side with Real as respective presidents, Florentino Perez and Laporta, continue to support such a competition being introduced and pushing for it to happen as they deem it the only way they will be able to compete with the spending power that the likes of PSG and Manchester City currently hold. “The financial situation of football clubs is very worrying," he said. "The clubs assume all of the costs and all of the risks. 38 clubs from the Spanish league have had to mortgage their future. Barca did not consider [the Super League] from a financial point of view. We believed we could do things better for the interests of the club.
