“We have achieved a historic record in sponsorship with a total of €259m, which is explained by the internationalisation of the market. We have reduced the debt set by the League by €90m, which is no small feat. So we are on the right track. We have made a titanic effort to contain spending.”

“We feel stronger than ever to complete Barça’s recovery in every area,” he added, reflecting on a season that produced major silverware and renewed optimism.
