🎙️| Josep Bartomeu (Former Barcelona president) in an interview with @sport
🗣️: "This month of October has been a year since we resigned as Board of Directors. And although we would like to be more anonymous, we have made a statement because there are things that are false" #FCB
🗣️: "What we do not intend is to question the economic closure of the 20-21 season, because each meeting closes as it sees fit, but we did want to emphasize the impact that COVID has had." #FCB
🗣️: "Not this season, because it already started in March 2020, when revenues plummeted, suddenly, from one day to the next, and from then on the club stops bringing in enough money to continue paying salaries and even suppliers." #FCB
🗣️: "What we want to explain to the members is that the situation is not as serious as it seems to be said from the club, but that it is a situation caused by COVID." #FCB
🗣️: "What we have done is eliminated the provisions and depreciations because it has been a decision made freely by the current board. The COVID effect has been €225m." #FCB
🗣️: "Loss of income, minus the expense savings deduction. For this reason, with everything subtracted, we obtain that the tax loss would have been €50m" #FCB
ℹ️Full interview tomorrow.

🎙️| Josep Bartomeu (Former Barcelona president) in an interview with @mundodeportivo
🗣️: "Bad management? I know it is a phrase that runs but it has been very serious and responsible, rigorous, with a project and a strategic plan that was set especially in 2015." #FCB
🗣️: "We are the board that has been most active but as of March 2020, that serious and rigorous management was truncated by the appearance of the pandemic, which drastically decreased revenues." #FCB
🗣️: "It has not been disastrous. I am not saying it. LaLiga says it, UEFA in its Financial Fair Play and the auditors. There have been benefits of about €185m. "Forbes" said that in 2020 the club was the most valuable club in the world."

@mundodeportivo 🎙️| Eduard Romeu on Barcelona's bad situation economically

🗣️: "At a structural level we have improved a lot, we have been able to spend the short-term debt long with a credit operation that the assembly of delegates approved and that we improved the expected terms." #FCB
🗣 “Maradona's death? I felt bad, very bad. When I found out, I thought it was a lie, like other times, but since I saw that a lot of people were saying it, I asked someone close and he answered that it was true."
🗣 "Wondering what I needed to win the Ballon d'Or? I thought about it, and one day I asked Leo. He told me that to have a firm chance to win the Ballon d'Or, I had to win the Champions League and he is right."
🗣 "Any Problems with Guardiola? No, never. I never argued with him. We did have to clarify things. When he arrived, as we didn't know each other, we had a bit of a trial run. The last three years have been fantastic at City."
