Laporta credits Barcelona’s role in Spain’s impressive start to World Cup

There’s no question one of the most impressive teams at the World Cup so far has been Spain. After a 7-0 demolition of Costa Rica and a 1-1 draw with Germany, the Spaniards appear keen to give anyone a run for their money.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta believes that much of that success is obviously the Barca contingent of the team. He was also quick to give Luis Enrique credit for his managing job.

“I think it’s fantastic. It gives pride for Barcelona to see how the national team is playing and how our players are doing,” he said.
