🎙 [Barça TV] | Joan Laporta: "Ansu Fati represents excitement and hope."
Laporta: "With his recovery and that of Dembélé, and we hope that with Agüero, we will begin to have a much more competitive team and with the help of the fans, who have not stopped encouraging us in the home games. It's the best fanbase in the world."
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."
Laporta: "For Ansu to come back after the injury and score that goal, it generated an outbreak of emotion to all the Catalans. Because of his personality, which we are getting to know little by little, he wanted to have the '10'."
Laporta: "He said it to me 'if the captains give me permission', it is an act of humility that shows his personality, he has depth, he is decisive and a scorer."
Laporta: "We have a very important Champions League game, we have to go out to win, what we need are the first three points of the Champions League to be where we are, at the top of the group."
Laporta: "Benfica is not an easy team but we have a team that every time progresses better and we are confident that we can take the victory."
Laporta: "La Masía is the way with the inalienable style of play that we practice. We have to take another step, and with that style that no other team has, if we make it compatible with high-performance sports techniques, we are creating the next level that a modern team needs."
Laporta: "Other teams have tightened with the physical preparation but we will apply new techniques and we will be unbeatable."
