"First of all, I want to dedicate a few words of gratitude to this wonderful club we have. It's great to see that members can still choose who represents us. This passion is a joy, it makes the club special, so thanks to Barça and all the members that voted today in a display of democracy."
"The result itself is conclusive and it gives us a lot of strength - so much strength that it will make us unstoppable. We will keep defending Barcelona against everything and everyone. The upcoming years will be thrilling. They will be the best of our lives."
"Laporta's first spell in charge - between 2003 and 2010 - saw him appoint Pep Guardiola as coach, a move that preceded an era of huge success. He returned in 2020 and was tasked with improving a dire financial situation as well as a rebuild of the Camp Nou."
Joan Laporta secured re-election as Barcelona president in a decisive victory, capturing around two-thirds of the 48,480 votes cast by club members. This marks his return to lead the club he previously served as president for 12 years across two separate periods. Despite controversy surrounding allegations that he vetoed Lionel Messi's return in 2023, the election results remained unaffected. Laporta pledged that upcoming years would be thrilling and the best of members' lives. His previous tenure established Barcelona's dominance through strategic appointments like Pep Guardiola, resulting in multiple La Liga titles and Champions League victories. The club currently maintains a four-point lead in men's La Liga standings.
