Following Barcelona’s victory against Athletic Bilbao (2-0) in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, President Joan Laporta expressed his frustration after the decision of the Superior Sports Council (CSD) to register his two players, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, for the second half of the season.
The CSD’s decision to allow Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to join Barcelona for the rest of the season has sparked controversy, as it contradicts previous decisions made by La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation. Laporta made headlines when Esport 3 broadcast footage of the jubilant president reacting to the news regarding Olmo and Victor. His joy was marked by exuberant celebrations, including shouts and gestures including a loud exclamation of “son of a b***h”, which Spanish media said was aimed at La Liga and the federation. However, the new president of the RFEF, Rafael Louzan, was not present during these events.
