Laporta: “Very proud of the team, we deserved to pass”

Joan Laporta experienced the elimination of the team in the Champions League live in the box at the Parque de los Príncipes. But this setback did not prevent the flaming Blaugrana leader from leaving the field “very proud” with the role of his players on the field. So much so that Laporta wanted to send a message of optimism to the fans as soon as the game ended: “We have a team and we have defended our dignity. We have competed and we have deserved to win and pass.”

A few words that he repeated like a mantra to all the special envoys in Paris. First, at the exit of the stadium and later at the airport. In fact, this message was also transmitted personally to the staff, before taking the plane to Barcelona, congratulating both the players and the staff for the effort made against PSG and for having fought until the last moment for the comeback.

Former candidate Victor Font He also wanted to congratulate the team and did so with a message through social networks: “Great game! Magnificent attitude. Competing as we should always do. Let's go Barça. Let's fight for the Cup and LaLiga!”

And also the other presidential, Toni Freixa, He applauded the efforts of the players: “The game and the feelings have been very good. This is the line to dispute the two remaining titles.”

Laporta, who is scheduled to be sworn in as president next Tuesday, March 16, you will face a few weeks of true vertigo with several folders open, among which stand out above the rest: the refinancing of short-term debt, the meeting with Leo Messi about his future and sports planning for the next season.

Koeman has also decided to give the team two days of holidays so that they can disconnect and can rest for a few days with their families. They will not return to training until next Saturday to prepare for the match against Huesca to be played on Monday, March 15.
