Laporta slams legitimacy of Bartomeu Barcelona presidency

Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta has questioned the legitimacy of current chief Josep Maria Bartomeu. Laporta is angry that Bartomeu presides as Barca president without ever holding an election.

"He has a lot of nerve," snapped Laporta.

"The best thing for Barça would be to hold elections as soon as possible.

"You have to have a lot of nerve to preside illegitimately over Barcelona. You can tell that I'm once again eager to be president. I'm motivated by a project to return Barça to its place at the top of the game."
