🎙| #BenficaBarça | Ronald Araujo: “The celebration with Ansu? We had nothing ready. We know how hard it was for him. Glad he came back and thank God he managed to come back well. He scored a nice goal but he just started and we have to keep going.” #UCL
Araujo: “We don’t know the team yet. I am happy for the beginning. I prepared well in preseason and vacations. I worked hard to be in the first team. Happy but this begins. You have to perform in every game and we have great defenses behind. We are each making good games.” #UCL
Araujo: “We aspire to everything. We are Barça. We must win the LaLiga, Copa del Rey, Super Cup.” #UCL
Araujo: “What i said to Ansu before entering against Levante? I told Ansu to have confidence, to do what he knows how to do. It was a message of encouragement, happy for him because things turned out well.” #UCL
Araujo: “We are going to win. We are good. We come from a great game. This is the way to go and go for the three points.” #UCL
Araujo: “We had a great game against Levante. We were able to increase the score even more. It gives us more encouragement and courage. We have a great team. We need to win as many titles as possible this season.” #UCL
🎙 [Barça TV] | Joan Laporta: "Regarding the decision of the Procicat not to increase capacity of stadiums to 100%, it is a very great damage, that they say that these restrictive criteria must continue."
Laporta: "It represents a very great economic damage and we have made it known because we have behaved with a sense of responsibility and understanding."
Laporta: "We are in a pandemic and the percentage of vaccinated is increasingly high and we believe that, in free spaces, if La Liga proposes 100%, we would be more satisfied if the Procicat accepted these percentages."
Laporta: "In life, no one is infallible, but Barça's medical services have a high level of effectiveness. They are very responsible people, professionally and personally."
🚨 | LaLiga have cut another €300 million from Barça's spending limit, with six clubs in the Spanish top-flight now permitted to spend more than them | @samuelmarsden@moillorens
@samuelmarsden@moillorens The bar for operating costs for Barça for the 2021-22 season has been reduced to €97m, which is almost €650m less than rivals Real Madrid, whose limit has been fixed at €739m
@samuelmarsden@moillorens The reason Barça have had such a steep drop (steeper than expected) is because of president Laporta's decision to, basically, make last season's losses as big as possible by writing off certain assets etc. €481m losses presented by the board when had estimated at €200m
