FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta recently spoke about his personal beliefs in an interview that drew significant public attention. According to him, he believes in God but does not consider himself religious.
“I believe in God. Faith gives me strength and confidence, but I don’t practice religion. For me, faith is an inner force that strengthens a person. As one bishop once said, heaven is the place where Barça scores against Real every five minutes. If God exists, He is certainly on Barcelona’s side,” Laporta said with a smile.
Many fans took his words as a mix of humor and sincerity. However, Laporta has long been known as someone who values his club not only for its athletic success but also for its spiritual essence.
After eight rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid leads the table with 21 points, while Barcelona sits second with 19. The season’s most anticipated match — El Clásico — will take place on October 26. This game is expected to symbolize not just the league rivalry, but also, as Laporta hinted, a “heavenly victory” for Barça.
Thus, Laporta’s heartfelt words sparked lively discussions among fans. His phrase “God is with Barça” might become one of the most memorable quotes in the club’s history.
