The European Super League simply will not go away, and as difficult as it might seem, it may just be a matter of time. Despite Leagues and even country regulations to prevent the league from coming about, Joan Laporta and Florentino Pérez are hellbent to get the ESL off the ground.

When speaking to Catalan radio RAC 1, the Barcelona executive did not hold back on English clubs who have “pulled out” of the European Super League, Laporta stated he “doesn’t give a f—” if Premier League sides decide to play in the league or not.

Laporta also stated that there are over a dozen clubs that support the European Super League and went on to name them, including all but one LaLiga team.
