Joan Laporta wants Super League to replace Champions League

Joan Laporta has changed his mind about the European Super League. He believes that it would be a mistake to create a new league. Florentino Perez wants to continue his fight for a Super league despite UEFA's decision to block it. The ruling on the matter is expected in December. UEFA plans to expand the number of teams in the Champions League to 36. This would add an additional group to the competition. The Superleague would have to work alongside domestic leagues.
