Barca election ends in landslide… and president says this photo proves Messi will stay
Joan Laporta returned as Barcelona president on Sunday after winning the clubs elections by a landslide, with his central pledge to try to persuade Lionel Messi to stay.
Laporta was last president at Barca between 2003 and 2010, which included overseeing the hugely successful appointment of Pep Guardiola as coach and the iconic treble-winning team of 2008/9.
In total, the club won four La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues during Laportas seven-year spell in charge.
