FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta, in a recent interview, reportedly said that the club is still supporting the idea of the European Super League. Barcelona were reportedly one of the first three clubs who stood up in support of the idea of this new tournament of the game.
In the interview, when asked about the Super League, Laporta said, “The European Super League? We are in the Super League because we think we need to work on the stability and economy of teams.”
Laporta then went on to say, “We’re still supporting the Super League, NOT for Real Madrid or Juventus. But we are doing it for our own good”.

President Laporta reportedly confirms the surprising return of Lionel Messi to Barcelona in the summer: Reports
FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed to fans that Lionel Messi will return to the club. Laporta was in the stands at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday where his men’s first team drew 0-0 with hosts Getafe.
The president interacted with fans in the stands of the stadium in the Spanish capital Madrid. And there he answered a set of quickfire questions.
The response that has set most tongues wagging however came from when it was put to Laporta if Messi will return to Barca. “Si”, the president said. This was pretty resounding and self-explanatory.
Messi left Barca in tears on Laporta’s watch as the club’s all-time greatest goalscorer and appearances leader in 2021, is a free agent on June 30 when he can flee Paris Saint Germain with no strings attached.
Laporta’s number two and vice president Rafa Yuste recently confirmed that talks are underway with the Messi camp. But Laporta and sporting director Mateu Alemany reportedly have had to draw up a “viability plan” for La Liga which was presented at the end of March.
La Liga chief Tebas reportedly believes that Messi has already agreed to join Barcelona. This perhaps explains why Laporta is telling fans that the Prodigal Son will return to Don Blaugrana.
