Laporta Sets Ambitious Goals for Barcelona's New Season

Barcelona President Joan Laporta delivered an ambitious message during the traditional flower offering at the Rafael Casanova monument on Catalonia's National Day (Diada). He outlined a four-trophy target for the Blaugrana this season.

"This year, we've set our sights on winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the Supercopa, and the Champions League," Laporta stated with ambition. "This demands maximum concentration and intensity from us. We must always prioritize team spirit; that's what the players need to do, and it will bring us titles."

When asked if the Champions League held a special allure, he responded: "We all have a special connection to the Champions League, and we will work tirelessly to try and win it."

The Barcelona president was full of praise for Lamine Yamal: "He possesses a maturity that is brilliant for his age and is a shining example of what the team needs to do this season. With pressure, with intensity, with commitment, without complacency. To work at full throttle."

Laporta also noted that he had anticipated Barcelona's strong start, crediting Sporting Director Deco for building a formidable squad: "Yes, I expected it because we have a very balanced team. What Deco and his entire team have done means everyone needs to be very alert, because there's a lot of quality in the squad. We have two very competitive teams, and whoever plays performs well. That's why everyone needs to be alert, committed, and under pressure. There's no room for complacency. We must remember that we are contenders to win titles."

During the Diada celebrations, Laporta was accompanied by Fermín López.
