Now, he was under the spotlight after appearing in the Spotify Camp Nou with a bruise under his eye, something unusual for a person of his position.

Joan Laporta took Barcelona’s presidency after the team suffered a lot in financial terms. He managed to apply some ‘levers’ and bring more money for the institution. With this movements, he was able to sign almost every single player that Xavi asked for and now they have one of the strongest squads in the world.

Mostof the Barcelona fans are pleased with how Joan Laporta has managed the club as today. Of course he was unable to maintain Lionel Messi in the team, but he has made up for it with other signings such as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha or Jules Kounde, building a better team for the future.
