The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, finds himself in the midst of a particular controversy. The name of the Barça leader is under scrutiny due to a controversial incident that took place at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, where the team played the 'semis' of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Club (0-2).
Recently, 'Jan' has been at the center of the controversy due to a video that went viral on social media. In this audiovisual material, Joan Laporta is seen celebrating with great enthusiasm the obtaining of an urgent precautionary measure that would allow the provisional registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, granted by the Higher Sports Council (CSD). However, in this celebration, the Catalan leader is seen making a rude gesture and shouting after embracing Enric Masip, his advisor.
Additionally, as reported by 'Cadena SER', Joan Laporta allegedly reacted in a possibly hostile manner upon learning of the decision, kicking and punching the armchairs. Likewise, witnesses claimed that he insulted the representatives of the RFEF present in the box, using terms like "shameless," "cowards," and "scared," and even shouting "sons of bitches" in the presence of several people in the authorities' box.
RFEF does not rule out filing a complaint against Joan Laporta for his controversial behavior
Currently, this whole situation could have repercussions for Joan Laporta from the Royal Spanish Football Federation. According to the journalist Alfredo Martínez in 'SPORT', the RFEF is considering opening a disciplinary proceeding against the Barça president due to these incidents.
Furthermore, journalist Isaac Fouto provides more details on the case, indicating that the legal services of the RFEF could refer this complaint to the Competition Judge, which could result in his possible disqualification as president. Therefore, it will be necessary to observe how this real controversy unfolds and what the final consequences will be.
