Joan Laporta mocks Real Madrid and Florentino Pérez

FC Barcelona has three candidates in the race for the Ballon d’Or: Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Pau Cubarsi. Suffice to say that on the Catalan side, the campaign for Lamine Yamal has already started, while no big favorite emerges. Asked about this after leaving a restaurant, Joan Laporta was keen to give his opinion.

“The players must also be grateful to Barça for the opportunity the club is giving them to win these trophies. I will always want a Barça player to be Ballon d’Or. Lamine Yamal? Yes, I would really like him to win the Ballon d’Or. I would be delighted if a Barça player, or a Barça player, won it. Lamine is a very mature guy, a genius”replied the Barcelona president.
