It was an administrative victory that many Barcelonans celebrated like a title, with Joan Laporta at the top of the list. On Wednesday evening, the Higher Sports Council, an organization attached to the Spanish government, agreed with Barça and allowed the Catalan club to provisionally register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in La Liga. A big relief for the players, obviously, who feared spending a second part of the blank season, but especially for the Barcelona president, more criticized than ever by supporters and the Catalan media.
In the stands of the King Abdullah stadium, about an hour before the start of this Spanish Super Cup semi-final match against Athletic, the Barça boss behaved in a way that was, to say the least,… noticed, which still makes more talk than the result of the match.

Media which do not fail to point out that this situation with Olmo and Victor was above all created by Joan Laporta and his bad work.
He even got hit in the pro-Barça press. “Laporta may think this is a victory for him and his board, but the mismanagement was of such magnitude that it should cause him to reflect deeply. Furthermore, even if everything ends well and this scandal that looms over Spanish football does not have negative consequences on Barça, the reputational damage it has caused to the club and the president will leave its mark. If he doesn’t see it that way, he has a problem.”we can read in a very spicy article from the media Sport. It’s pretty clear…
