Hansi Flick’s side have also won the Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League during what’s been a great season.
Laporta has spoken to RAC1 about his plans for the future and is determined to continue.
> “We’ve made difficult decisions, we’ve worked under pressure. It’s been an important year in the club’s recovery, and I’d like to run in the next elections,” he told RAC1.
>
> “I believe this project, which I have the honor of leading, deserves to continue. We made brave, courageous, and controversial decisions, and we’ve moved forward, both to stop this campaign of institutional discredit that has taken hold in some sectors, especially among rivals.
>
> “The registration of players was an ordeal due to the violent reaction of those who didn’t want things to go well for us.
>
> “All of this, and much more, gives me the strength to continue. It’s Barça’s best project because we love the club and we know what we’re doing and what’s in our best interest.”
