The Super League which was a proposed annual club football competition that would be contested by twenty European football clubs died within days of their launch in April.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta still believes the Super League is a viable project despite it crashing within 48 hours of its launch.
The Premier League ’s so-called ‘big six’ clubs of Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal,Tottenham and other clubs from Europe all swiftly distanced themselves from the plans after a significant supporter backlash in April.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus have not given up hope of relaunching their European Super League project and have hired a major London-based PR firm to boost the plans.
However, on Monday, Barca chief Laporta continues to believe, as cited by Diario AS:
“It’s a live project. The three clubs that defended it, we continue winning in the tribunals.
“UEFA cannot impede it. What happened could have been presented better.”
In truth, the Super League hasn’t got a leg to stand on.
The clubs still involved may not be punished should they continue to win those aforementioned tribunals, but the project has no hope of restarting without the Premier League clubs, who currently dominate the market.
The Premier League clubs have not only promised fans to never step foot in the project again, but all owners have agreed a new ‘Owners’ charter’ in principle with the Premier League which stipulates in its regulations that no club is allowed to be involved in any kind of Super League.
Participating in such a project would land any Premier League club a significant sanction.
The definitive block will not come into play until that agreement is actually signed, but given it is already agreed in principle, the Super League already appears to be very much dead.
