The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, analyzed the current situation of the Blaugrana club on Monday morning in an interview with RAC1.
After the resounding victory in the Spanish Super Cup, the top Barça official appeared elated, although he did not hide his astonishment at Real Madrid’s attitude after the final whistle.

Laporta was blunt when referring to the absence of the traditional gesture of sportsmanship from the Madrid side. "I’m surprised they didn’t give us a guard of honor. One must be generous and respectful even when losing," said the president. Nevertheless, he tempered his words by showing some empathy for the rival’s frustration: "I understand those must have been very tough moments and that’s why they reacted that way."
As for the purely sporting analysis, the president highlighted Barça’s superiority throughout the ninety minutes. According to Laporta, the team maintained absolute control of the game, although he acknowledged the latent danger posed by Xabi Alonso’s team. "I could see that Madrid could make things difficult for us on any counterattack, but we had control and that gave me peace of mind," he explained.

Laporta’s optimism did not stop there, as he believes the final score could have been even more lopsided due to the dominance shown on the pitch. "We were far superior to Madrid and could have won by a greater margin," he concluded, highlighting the excellent form of the sports project led by Hansi Flick.
This victory in the Super Cup not only adds another trophy to the club’s cabinet, but also represents a moral show of authority.
