The Barcelona center-back and one of the team's captains, Gerard Piqué, was the first player to congratulate Joan Laporta on his return to the Barça club presidency. Only a few minutes had passed since the inauguration of the new culé president, when the defender used his social networks to congratulate his new boss.
The Barça center-back turned to Twitter to publicly congratulate the new president of Barcelona, although he had already had the opportunity to do so in person and through WhatsApp, and left a message of optimism for Barcelona.“We were very happy. We will do it again. Congratulations JoancLaporta. Visit Barça!”. And is that the first term of Laporta ended with a balance of 12 titles in the football section of Barcelona: two Champions Leagues (2006 and 2009), four Leagues (2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010), one Copa del Rey (2009), three Spanish Football Super Cups (2005, 2006 and 2009 ), a European Super Cup (2009) and a Club World Cup (2009).
Prior to his message on social networks, Piqué had attended the proclamation of the new Azulgrada president sitting to the right of Messi, which ended up being one of the main protagonists of the act, since Laporta dedicated part of his inauguration speech to him.
