Laporta was re-elected president of Barcelona

The most worthy there is. After long months of speculation since the previous and worst president in the club’s history left, Barcelona have a new-old president. Joan Laporta, 58, who has been in office since 2003 to 2010, returns for a second term after defeating Tony Freisha and Victor Font in a huge election, replacing Joseph Maria Bartomeu, who caused an economic and professional collapse at the club.

Laporta is considered one of the best presidents the team has had so far and so this is an exciting moment for the Catalan team. He applied relatively late, but he pretty much preyed on the cards as he entered the race, his campaign “Estimem el Barça” (Love Barça) beat that of his counterparts by a majority of votes, and now his goal is to save the team from an economic collapse, and of course try And leave Leo Messi.

In 2003 Laporta faced a similar situation and together with a special adviser, the late Johan Cruyff, managed to rehabilitate the club, leading the team to win 12 different titles (including 4 Spanish championships and 2 Champions League trophies) with relatively anonymous coaches: Frank Rijkaard And Pep Guardiola, and perhaps no less important – built with his team the skeleton of the dynasty that current Barcelona wanted on the remnants of the same team.

The candidates Frisha and Pont embraced Laporta And congratulated him on the victory. The new and happy President said: “Thank you very much, I am very happy and appreciate all of you, without you I would not have succeeded, I am forever grateful, ‘Whiskey Barça, Whiskey Catalonia'”. Who will serve as the team’s sporting director is Jordi Cruyff, who will arrive in Barcelona on Wednesday, according to a report in Rac1.

During Laporta’s time as president, the team recorded one of its most beautiful periods, when in the 395 games of the team with him as president, it had 249 victories, 85 draws and only 61 losses. Leo Messi won the Golden Ball twice under him and Ronaldinho also took the prestigious title during the Spaniard’s tenure. After celebrating frantically with everyone around him, he said, “Let’s get to Paris with the goal of doing a remontade.”

Laporta: 30.184 (54%).
Victor Font: 16,679 (29.9%).
