President Joan Laporta, in an act that was held in Miami, where Barça played yesterday against Inter Miami in the first game of the American tour, was in charge of welcoming Robert Lewandowski on behalf of all Barça fans: “We are very happy and grateful to Robert. This man has made an extraordinary effort, we are very proud that you wanted to come and play with us“, said an extremely happy Laporta.

Laporta has insisted that Barça is building a squad that will once again be able to fight for all the titles: “We are trying to make an increasingly competitive team, we are progressing very well. I want to thank the entire football department headed by Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff and the sports vice president, Rafa Yuste, for this incorporation that has had worldwide repercussions”.
