Speaking in an interview with Catalunya Radio (h/t AS ), FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta discussed multiple important topics related with the club, including the injury blow sustained by club captain Raphinha.

The Barça chief is currently in Copenhagen, attending the EFC General Assembly, with the Catalans having returned to the organisation after over four years, following the club’s decision to walk away from the Super League project.

Having learned about the injury that Raphinha sustained earlier today while in action for Brazil against Australia in a friendly encounter, Laporta lamented the situation while stating that the club were waiting on scan results.

“This news has upset us. We’re waiting for the MRI results, and we know these things happen during these breaks,” he said.

Regarding Barcelona’s fine start to the season and their biggest goal of the campaign, winning the UEFA Champions League, the club president underlined:

“We aspire to win the Champions League, we’re working towards it. We have a great squad, very good players, and a very capable coach. The players are highly motivated. Our goal is to compete for everything.”

Talking about the progress that the club has achieved in recent years, Laporta added: “What I take away from these last few years is that we’ve saved the club. That’s thanks to everyone. And we’ve done it by winning titles and building a new stadium.
