Laporta Emphasizes Self-criticism and Stability for Barca

The Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, and the board have faced a wave of criticism aimed at leadership decisions since his reappointment in March 2021. Yet the club’s governance group has embraced scrutiny as part of a broader discipline. Laporta has repeatedly said that the organization will respond to open critique with what he describes as a rigorous self-examination. He believes that self-criticism, even when it is harsh, can drive meaningful changes and help the club align its actions with long-term goals. He stressed that the path to stability in the immediate future hinges on a stable governance framework that supports institutional, economic, and sporting balance for the club.
