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 MasĂa 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."

🎙 [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."

@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

🎙| #BenficaBarça | Ronald Koeman: “I don’t know if Benfica is the fittest team, but it is a strong club. I had the experience of knowing how great it is. It is a beautiful game in which we need a good result. Both teams have their style. We can expect a interesting match.” #UCL
