Barça president Joan Laporta reassured fans on a Mallorca-based blaugrana penya on the eve of the club’s Liga opener against Mallorca, telling TV3 that the era of success is just beginning for the Blaugrana.
To those who have not yet accepted that Barça is back and has become a reference, to those who push us to fight against everything and everyone, I say: be reassured because this will last a long time, he said after leaving the Mallorca penya, ahead of the first league match.
We have many years of success ahead of us. This will last a long time; we have many resources. We are convinced that, fortunately, we have many years of success ahead because the work of Flick, the players, and Deco is excellent. To work like that, you must love Barça and fight until the end. It is part of our essence and it makes us more than a club.
The Barça president’s visit to the Balearic Islands also marked the 35th anniversary of a local penya, which brought together Barça supporters’ groups from the islands, and he used the moment to announce the registration of Marcus Rashford and Joan Garcia with La Liga, allowing them to participate in the opening day of the season. If Flick wants, Joan Garcia and Rashford can play tomorrow, he had been confident, a point that La Liga confirmed this morning.
Summary
Laporta’s remarks underscore Barça’s intent to project renewed confidence and continuity of success as the season kicks off, while the club’s registration moves signal an ambitious recruitment-and-availability plan ahead of the first Liga round.
Additional notes
– This visit doubles as a morale boost for fans amid ongoing speculation about the club’s direction and star signings.
– If Rashford’s participation materializes, it would mark a high-profile arrival that could influence Barca’s attacking options from the outset.
– The inclusion of Deco in the praise highlights the club’s emphasis on its legacy figures contributing to its modern project.
Positive angle
The president’s confident messaging and the potential early involvement of high-profile signings suggest Barça is aiming to reestablish itself quickly as a title favorite and a benchmark for European football, while reinforcing a narrative of unity and long-term planning.
