Laporta reflects on his term ahead of Barcelona presidential elections: 'We had to act boldly and quickly' | Barca Universal
"The overall assessment is positive. We've worked collectively to bring joy back to the Barça faithful. The institution is strong, and the team is captivating. We've returned to the Spotify Camp Nou. It's an environment that embodies what Barça is today. The Spotify Camp Nou is one of the best decisions we've made, and now it's time to finish it. The third tier is still missing."
"It shows that the club is alive and active. The fans have returned and are enjoying themselves. We are a multi-sport club with 48 European Cups. We are experiencing a very sweet moment in our history. The sporting structure is very solid and has earned the respect of the Barça fans."
"It has been about reversing the economic legacy we inherited. To recover, we had to provide guarantees of viability, such as the financial levers, and now it's time to consolidate the economic recovery."
Joan Laporta resigned the presidency of FC Barcelona to run in the 15 March presidential election.

He highlighted the Spotify Camp Nou renovation as a major achievement and ongoing project, noting the third tier still needs completion.
