The Super League is ready to start. Admitting it is Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona and one of the founders of the project that shocked the world of football in 2021. At the end of last year, the decision of the Court of Justice arrived, which rejected the monopoly of UEFA and FIFA. From that moment, the door to the Super League opened, with football federations across Europe however taking a stand against it. Despite this, Laporta did not stop: "We could start next season or in 2025/2026. There would also be Milan, Inter, Napoli and Roma".

Roma's denial
Roma responded to the words of Joan Laporta about the Super League. The Giallorossi decided to vehemently respond to the words of the Barcelona president. "As done shortly after the judgment of the European Court of Justice - the note reads - we confirm that we do not support in any way each project related to the so-called Super League". This is stated in the official club note, which continues: "The Club also specifies that it has never reviewed its position on this matter, nor has it held useful dialogues to undertake a different path from that of the clubs through the ECA, in close collaboration with UEFA and FIFA".
The announcement
In an interview with Rac1, the president of Barca had returned to talk about the situation that the club is experiencing with coach Xavi Hernandez, then veering on the project "The Super League could start next season, or in the next one, but I think about it because UEFA is interested in keeping Barcelona in the ECA". This is how Laporta had started, who also spoke about the participating clubs: "I don't care if there are English teams, they already have their Super League which is the Premier League".
"In addition to Barcelona and Real Madrid, there would be four Italians: Milan, Napoli, Inter and Roma. There is also Marseille as well as Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon". Laporta then closed by attacking the format of the Champions League: "It penalizes us. The players and agents get rich, while the clubs are penalized, we do not get enough from the top European competition".
