New Barcelona president Joan Laporta has given his first speech since winning the elections and couldn’t resist talking about captain Lionel Messi.
The Argentine’s future is one of the big topics Laporta will need to sort out with the 33-year-old out of contract at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
Messi was pictured at the Camp Nou earlier on Sunday with son Thiago as he cast his vote, and Laporta is convinced the 33-year-old still loves the club.
“First of all I want to thank everyone who has participated in these elections, which have been the most important in our history due to the pandemic, which has changed our lives.
