Joan Laporta returns as Barcelona president after landslide win in election, vows to persuade Lionel Messi to stay

Firstpost  

Madrid: Joan Laporta returned as Barcelona president on Sunday after winning the club’s elections by a landslide, with his central pledge to try to persuade Lionel Messi to stay. Amid champagne celebrations shared with his team on Sunday night, Laporta shouted with a grin on his face: “Now let’s go to Paris and see if we can make another ‘remontada’ happen!” Barcelona face Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday in the Champions League last 16, with a 4-1 deficit to make up from the opening leg. Longer-term, Laporta’s task will be to rebuild a club in crisis, with crippling debts exacerbated by the pandemic, its reputation damaged and Messi considering leaving for free when his contract expires this summer. But the team’s progress under Koeman and Laporta’s superior campaign cast doubt over the promise, with Laporta questioning last week why Xavi had not come out in support of Font publicly.
