The blaugrana president looks at the Club’s current off field situation on the programme ‘The President’s Podcast’ on Barça One

As well as taking a look at the Club’s sporting situation, president Joan Laporta also touched on off the field matters in the second edition of ‘The President’s Podcast’ on Tuesday on Barça One. During the interviews the president made it clear that now is the time to stand up as a culer. “It’s at the most difficult moments that I am most proud to be a Barça fan,” said the president during the interviews which took place at Barça Studios.

The phrase was one of the first uttered by Joan Laporta in the programme after a season in which both the men’s football team and the basketball ended the campaign empty handed. Furthermore, rivals Real Madrid have recently collected another Champions League title, knocked Barça out of the ACB league play offs at the semi-final stage in basketball and have announced the signing of Kylian Mbappé. “I am a born optimist and it’s a question of being firm in your beliefs,” added the president.
