We won't apologise for trying to organise Super League, asserts Joan Laporta

That is despite multiple, nine, founding members withdrawing within days of the creation of the league and it has many fans and critics of said clubs concerned. But in a recent interview, Joan Laporta has continued to back the league and asserted that the project is still alive. The Barcelona president also revealed that the club will refuse to apologize for trying to create the Super League because they wanted to be masters of their own destiny.

"We spoke with the clubs and said we liked [the proposals], but that we needed them to accept that our members would have to approve entry at the next assembly. It was logical to have that vote before June 30. But now, as the format doesn't exist, I won't ask you to vote. But the project is alive, I insist," Laporta told the club's general assembly.

The other nine founders, even though they withdrew, faced fines from UEFA but the sanctions and potential judicial cases for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus remain up in the air. It saw Laporta pleased at the fact that UEFA suspended the case and that they registered the trio for the upcoming Champions League season. He also added that the only reason they did it was because they love football and things need to change.
