Laporta’s Outburst in the VIP Box During Supercopa Final

Barcelona president Joan Laporta lost his composure in the VIP box of King Abdullah Stadium during the Supercopa de España semifinal between Athletic Club and Barça. According to reports from media outlets like MARCA and COPE, Laporta directed serious insults at various members of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) present at the event.

The incident occurred amidst a tense period for Laporta, following the controversial ‘Dani Olmo case’ which had put his club management under scrutiny. On January 8th, the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) issued a contentious statement granting Barcelona temporary permission to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. Upon hearing this news, Laporta was seen making an offensive gesture, captured by Esport 3 cameras.

Reports suggest that upon arriving at the VIP box, Laporta embraced Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo before repeatedly shouting expletives at those present, including Federation members and regional presidents. This behavior indicates the release of tension for Laporta, who has been under significant pressure in recent days.

These inappropriate actions demonstrate the extent of Laporta’s emotional state and the pressure he has been under due to recent controversies surrounding the club.
