Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, opened the club's general assembly today, Saturday, with a speech in which he expressed his optimism about the team's future, confirming the club's ambition to achieve all titles, alongside discussing the strength of Barcelona and the Spotify Camp Nou project.
According to what was reported by the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", Laporta stressed the importance of supporting the team and coaching staff, affirming his confidence in Barcelona's ability to compete in all competitions.
Barcelona's president said: "We aspire to win everything, and I am convinced that if we provide support to the team and the coaching staff, we will achieve that."

Laporta spoke about the competition in Europe and Spain, emphasizing the need for Barcelona to show courage and the ability to innovate to get ahead of their rivals.
He said: "We must be imaginative and brave to get ahead of our competitors, who are either joint-stock companies, owned by investment funds, or clubs affiliated with countries, and when you need it, the land is reclassified for them and it simply ends there."
Barcelona's president praised the work of Deco and Hans Flick, highlighting the quality of the squad. He explained: "In the dressing room, there is perfect harmony between the players from the La Masia academy and those coming from outside the club.

Joan Laporta spoke about Barcelona's goals for the current season, stating: "We aim to win the LaLiga title for the third consecutive time, win the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa, and of course, we aspire to win the UEFA Champions League. If we provide them with support, we will achieve that, and I am convinced."
The basketball team has already won the Catalan league title, and hopes this is a precursor to new titles.
He added: "We have 50 titles in the UEFA Champions League, and there is no club in the world that has 50 titles in the UEFA Champions League."
Laporta has reaffirmed the club's commitment to the existing membership model, clarifying that Barcelona's goal in the coming years is to continue achieving victories and maintaining the club's identity.
