Jakarta –
Joan Laporta back to being president Barcelona. In his first era, there were a number of important achievements such as the appointment of Pep Guardiola and the inaugural treble.
Joan Laporta has officially become the new president of Barcelona after surpassing his two competitors, Victor Font and Toni Freixa, in the election process on Sunday (7/3/2021).
The three of them competed for votes from the 55,611 club members who exercised their voting rights. As a result, Joan Laporta was superior by collecting 30,184 votes or 54.28 percent of the total number of voters.
For the 58-year-old man who was born in Barcelona, the position of president of Barca is no stranger. Previously, Laporta had occupied the same position from 15 June 2003 to 30 June 2010.
Within seven years Joan Laporta As the president of Barca (in the first period), the Catalan club won 12 trophies: 4 LaLiga, 3 Spanish Super Cups, 2 Champions Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey, 1 European Super Cup, 1 Club World Cup.
The era of Joan Laporta as number one Barcelona in the past it could have been said to be brilliant. It’s nothing, there are a number of achievements behind the trophies that were present at that time.
Call it the success of winning the Champions League on May 17, 2006. It was the second time in Blaugrana history to win the Big Ears trophy, with the first in the 1991/1992 season.
In the Joan Laporta era, Barcelona also became the first Spanish club to win the treble after winning LaLiga, Copa del Rey and the Champions League in 2009. In that same year, Los Cules became a dominant force by winning six titles from six events!

Barca’s dominance at that time could not be separated from the result of Pep Guardiola’s concoction as an entrenador. And Joan Laporta was the one who played a big role in putting Guardiola in that position.
It was Joan Laporta who gave Guardiola confidence to occupy the position previously occupied by Frank Rijkaard. The appointment of Pep at that time invited questions because he had relatively little experience.
In the early seasons of the Laporta era as Barca president, one of the first things he immediately did was regenerate the squad. The likes of Deco, Samuel Eto’o, Edmilson and Ronaldinho were combined with academy players such as Lionel Messi, Carles Puyol, Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, Víctor Valdés, and Oleguer.
Another success from Joan Laporta, particularly in the early days of his presidency at Barcelona, is to successfully overcome the legacy of the previous period’s debt. He will face a similar situation today, in his second term.
