"It would be a dream to lift the Champions League trophy as president. It's a dream you always have, but above all for the fans and the team. I already experienced it as vice-president in Rome and Paris, and it's one of the most beautiful things a Barcelona fan can do. Imagine what it would be like as president."
"I hope and wish I can do it with my friend Joan Laporta, the club's president-elect. That would be the greatest thing that could ever happen to me. The players, Hansi, and the staff have a great affection for the president, and yesterday I saw that this affection is natural and genuine."
Rafa Yuste, Barcelona's interim president, hosted the pre-match lunch with Newcastle United directors at Via Veneto restaurant. He expressed his aspiration to win the Champions League as president, recalling his previous experiences witnessing the trophy lifted as vice-president in Rome and Paris. Yuste will serve until June 30, when Joan Laporta assumes the presidency after winning the election decisively. Yuste congratulated Laporta on his landslide victory over Victor Font and praised the players, coach Hansi Flick, and staff for their dedication. He expressed optimism about Deco's involvement and emphasized the importance of the Newcastle match for securing quarterfinal qualification.
