Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, confirmed that the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid was an exciting match that followed a perfect scenario, expressing his happiness with his team and their performance.

Laporta said: "I am very happy and delighted for all Barcelona fans. We have a team that plays wonderful football and delivers impressive performances like today's display. They are also very generous and appreciate what we all contribute. We say we are like a big family, and that is true. The team is young and includes a mix of local players and newcomers from different cultures, and that is wonderful."

He continued: "The entire coaching staff is doing a great job. We want to repeat last season's experience and achieve a bit more, and we started with the Super Cup."

Regarding the difficulty of the match and the importance of tensions in the final, Laporta added: "In a final between Barcelona and Real Madrid, even if you are the better team, there is no absolute favorite. We started well and scored, but within two to three minutes, they can equalize and complicate things. We overcame that. In the final, you must go through some tensions for the victory to have value. I liked the match scenario, and the most important thing is that it ended with a Barcelona win."

He also praised the players' performance, saying about Raphinha: "He scored two goals and could have scored a third. He imposes speed and rhythm, but he is part of a complete group. We have a very cohesive team that plays with team spirit. I really liked his attitude with Araújo after his return; he looked happy and felt he was useful to the team again."

Laporta concluded his statements by referring to his interaction with Florentino Pérez: "We exchanged greetings at the beginning and the end, and he congratulated me, which is fitting for him."
