The doomed Super League project 'is ALIVE', claims Barcelona president Joan Laporta as he talks up the 'most attractive competition in the world'... and he says UEFA 'CANNOT act against it' despite nine teams pulling out

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is refusing to give up hope for a European Super League and claims the project for a breakaway competition is very much 'alive'.

Back in April a proposal for a 12-team league - which included Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham - was abandoned after 48 hours when fan pressure led to nine sides pulling out.

Along with the six Premier League sides, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid also withdrew and all nine have since rejoined the European Clubs' Association (ECA).
