The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" revealed that Joan Laporta, the elected president of Barcelona, decided to accompany the team's delegation to the capital, Madrid, to support the players in their match against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

The newspaper clarified that Laporta will travel with the team this morning, driven by his belief in Barcelona's ability to make a comeback after losing the first leg 2-0, and qualify for the semi-finals of the continental tournament.

The newspaper added that Rafa Yuste, the current acting president, will lead the team's mission, while the players will also have the support of Laporta, who is very popular in the locker room, although he will not officially assume his duties until the first of July next year.

The newspaper indicated that Laporta received an invitation from Enrique Cerezo, the president of Atlético Madrid, to attend the match from the main box at the Metropolitano Stadium, which he used as an opportunity to be alongside the team and support coach Hans Flick and the players before this crucial encounter.
