The Dani Olmo and Pau Victor register saga is over, but it‘s not over yet. The whole situation was and emmbarrasment in the first place, as even thou Barcelona are still in a financial mess which was created by the former executives, president Joan Laporta shouldn‘t have allowed this situation to escalate to a such extent. According to Spanish ‘Sport‘, the players even wanted to know how this situation was actually allowed to happen and after Hansi Flick failed to explain it properly, Laporta came over. His explanation was so outlandish that the players did not even respond to it, completely baffled by Laporta. And now the fan groups are not happy with the Barcelona president either. In fact, they are pushing for a vote of confidence for Laporta.‼️ Before Dani Olmo and Pau Victor were registered, Joan Laporta tried to explain the situation in detail to the Barcelona players in the dressing room.Their response was something along the lines of: “And you couldn’t have done that before?”— @sport pic.twitter.com/6BHq9Sj2Ph— Barça Universal (@BarcaUniversal) January 20, 2025 According to ‘AS‘, fan supporters groups these groups even issued a statement, demanding Laporta to submit his resignation, though sentiment has gotten a bit better since CSD issued a precautionary measure for the registration of Olmo and Victor. But the matter is not over yet, and it could happen that both players are again prevented from playing. In the meantime, Laporta was in so buyant mood after the court‘s decision that he, among other things, stated that ‘they had a chance to show that they love Barca and they did not take advantage of it‘.“We are members who live the Club with intensity, passion, a critical spirit and we seek excellence. We request that the president and the board of directors submit to a vote of confidence when the competitions have finished” reads the statement from a number of group, which include Compromíssaris FCB, Dignitat Blaugrana, and pre-election platforms like Som un Clam and Si al Futur.Stuck in the suburb with you – Barca slipp at Getafe in painful anticlimaxLet‘s remember that even Raphinha expressed his opinion on the matter and said that if he was to consider joining the club at the time of Olmo and Victor registraition issues, he would have doubts about signing for them. But Laporta had an answer to that as well – the press.“The captain’s criticisms are not true. You led Raphinha astray, you tricked him. He said that Barca was the best club I could be at. It’s another thing if they tell you things from outside with a false conclusion, which predicts the apocalypse. The club seemed to be in a position that was not true. Victory on the field and in the offices has not served to make us lose. Raphinha was dejected. He wanted to praise the greatness of Barca and you only got part of what he said” he remarked.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 20FridayEspanyol – Valladolid 2-1 (1-0)/Puado 31, Fernandez 74 – Sanchez 57/SaturdayGirona – Sevilla 1-2 (1-0)/Martinez 36 – Saul 59, Lukebakio 88/Leganes – Atl.
