In an interview this Wednesday, Barca president Joan Laporta claimed that his team is better than Real Madrid.
The 2023-2024 season has not yet started in La Liga, but the provocations between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are already beginning. This Wednesday, it is as often Joan Laporta who launched the hostilities. Asked by the Catalan daily Sportthe president of Barça did not hesitate to compare the two teams, assuring that his was far superior to the Merengues.
Barça better than Real, according to Laporta
“We have a better team than Real Madrid and individually we are also better than our rivals, by far”, he launched in his usual provocative style. As a reminder, the Baugranas strengthened with the arrivals of Ilkay Gündogan and Inigo Martinez but lost Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. For their part, the people of Madrid recruited Fran Garcia, Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler, who was tracked by… Barça, but lost Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.
