According to the latest reports, a leaked document has revealed that the creators of the European Super League are pushing for a second time.
The original proposals were met with heavy backlash in April, with several protests taking place outside the grounds of the clubs who were involved in the breakaway system.
Six Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea, were part of the new idea, but quickly withdrew from the plans after seeing how it was perceived by their respective fanbases.
The six English outfits were joined by three more European clubs in their swift exit from the competition, but Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid have always been committed to the idea and have never given up on making it happen.
And as per Marca, a leaked document has shown that the creators are trying to re-ignite the proposals.
The alleged document read: "The current Champions League, directed and operated by UEFA, the self-proclaimed regulator of European football competitions, hasn't changed in 30 years and has become rigid and boring.
"The Super League project is the recognition of a broken system.
"UEFA are the self-established government of football in the EU."

The report adds that the Super League's revival is built on 10 key points, which are as follows:
1. The Super League will not break the established football ecosystem.
2. There will be no permanent members.
3. The Super League is recognition of a broken system.
4. UEFA's role creates structural conflict.
5. UEFA have close ties with club owners.
6. There is a lack of high-level matches in the Champions League.
7. Inadequate financial control.
8. There's a lack of transparency in accounting matters.
9. The European Union is losing control in football.
10. Clubs from big cities in smaller countries cannot compete in UEFA's current model.
It’s certainly an improvement on the previous proposal if true, but it’s still unlikely to go down well with supporters, especially as it tampers with a tournament that many feel doesn’t need tampering with.
