Barcelona president Joan Laporta boldly claims a Super League 'will be a reality by 2025' despite previous attempt by Europe's elite failing after 48 HOURS... as he predicts a new competition that 'competes' with the Premier League

Despite its previous attempt failing, a European Super League 'will be a reality' in the next two years, claims Barcelona president Joan Laporta.

The original plans for a bold breakaway Super League were foiled within 48 hours last year following a furious backlash from fans in England, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Man United soon performing a u-turn as owners later coughed up apologies for getting involved in the first place.

Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona have continued to push for a breakaway competition and Laporta has now claimed it will 'be a reality' in two years and can compete with the Premier League.
