“A cycle has ended, we are entering a process of renewal,” those were the words of Joan Laporta at the Festa de L’Esport Català gala.
Laporta was elected as club president for the second time last March. This came after Josep Maria Bartomeu resigned in disgrace last year.
He was there to pick up an award on behalf of the club’s women’s section.
“The award is a recognition of the great work that has been done, and is being done, with women’s football, which is a point of pride for all Catalans,” he said.
