Barcelona President Joan Laporta:

'I don't care if the English clubs join. I think we can still get a league of 16-18 clubs for the 25/26 season. Porto, Sporting, Benfica, Anderlecht, Ajax, Bruges, PSV, Marseille.'

Sounds super

PSV v Bruges. The big money match we never knew we needed.

Reading the Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... ext-season
Speaking to the Catalan radio station RAC1, Laporta named 15 clubs he believed would be willing to join the competition if it got off the ground but also hinted he may walk away from the project if it is not established soon.
He's literally naming random teams!

If we're naming random teams, why not mention in Besiktas, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce; OIympiacos and Panathinaikos; Shakhtar and Dynamo Kyiv?

He'd bulk it out with whatever Saudi team Ronaldo's playing for.

However, it's a format that's crying out for Young Boys and Nantes.
