The presidential debate of Laporta and Font (full quotes)

🔴Joan Laporta: "Victor Font is a technocrat, a guy that thinks that Barça is run like a computer, with Exchel sheets."

"He's lying against us and what we did. He wants to destroy what we built with hard work."

"He's another Bartomeu. Do not take the risk by voting for him."

🔵Victor Font: "These elections are not about a candidate against another one. This is a clash between managing styles. The old against the news."

"Do you want a Barça for tourists or a Barça for the socis? Do you want a Barça that fights with the animation stand?"

🔴Joan Laporta: "Victor Font keeps claiming that he's going to fire Deco…"

"As soon as he does that, he will cause problems and tensions with Hansi Flick, immediately!"

🔴Joan Laporta: "Victor, you have been telling anyone that we would become a corporation for the past 5 years."

"5 years later and we're here, stronger than ever economically, after the nasty financial situation that was left by the past board."

🔵Victor Font: "Joan, you keep saying that I have not presented anything, but we have been talking about sporting proposals since before the campaign even started."

🔵Victor Font: "We have been negotiating a preferential buy option for Erling Haaland from the day he decides to leave from Manchester City."

🔴Joan Laporta: "Victor, the player's agent already called out your lie."

🔵Victor Font: "Don't let him lie to you. Hansi Flick is an employee of FC Barcelona, not FC Laporta."

"We are going to give him stability and a serious sporting structure."

🔵Victor Font: "Deco is only the sporting director because he's friends with Alejandro Echevarría, who orders the president like Xavi said."

"As a sporting director, Deco has no experience. He replaced great professionals like Jordi Cruyff and Mateu Alemany; it's not serious."

🔴Joan Laporta: "Jordi Cruyff and I still have a magnificent relationship, not like Victor Font says."

🔴Joan Laporta: "Deco is much better than Mateu Alemany at his job for one reason."

"Mateu may know a lot about football, but Deco has a different ability to speak and have a properly strong connection with the manager."

🔴Joan Laporta: "It's an insult to the members to say that Victor Font's three men can properly replace Deco, who is doing a magnificent job."

"Deco, along with Bojan and others, has been able to renew all of the young players and build an extremely strong team."

🔴Joan Laporta in a screaming tone: "Victor Font you have absolutely NO SHAME!"

"Rafaela Pimienta, Haaland's agent, has already told everyone that you are lying."

🔴Joan Laporta: "Think about this guy's campaign, he's only using other people to attack me: Xavi, Messi, Mateu Alemany…"

"Thankfully we're not relying on using other people's names for support."

🔵Victor Font: "If you look at the signatures, more people want change. Most people do not want to continue with this board."

🔵Victor Font: "We are glad to announce that 3 days from now, when we win the elections, the reconciliation with Leo Messi will be a reality."

"We will start a new project alongside Messi's hand. We are losing so much money by not selling Messi's image like they do with Jordan."

🔵Victor Font: "Saying that Messi is the past is undermining the best player in history."

"Leo Messi is present and future. We will offer to make him our president of honor."

"Hansi Flick and the sporting staff will decide how his career would end."

🔵Victor Font: "It's ironic that the Laporta of 2003 would be doing everything to kick out the Laporta of 2026."

"They have been negotiating with sketchy shell companies and random countries to bring money. We have already prepared a serious deal that will bring us more money."

🔴Joan Laporta: "Barcelona fans want to talk about the present, with Lamine Yamal, Cubarsí and Flick… not Messi."

"Full respect for Messi, he deserves a statue alongside Cruyff
