"My president is chilling with the girls", "He's living life" - Barcelona fans react hilariously as image of Joan Laporta partying goes viral
Barcelona fans became jocular after an image of Barca's President, Joan Laporta, partying with girls in Los Angeles during the Blaugrana's pre-season tour went viral.
Barcelona were going to square off against Italian giants Juventus in a friendly fixture on Saturday (July 22). However, the match was suspended as players of the Spanish side were suffering from viral gastroenteritis. According to the speculations raised by Victor Milo, the virus can be potentially connected to an African player.
Consequently, Blaugrana defender Alejandro Balde visited his father's homeland, Guinea-Bissau, in late June. Thus, he's been seen as someone who would have been initially infected by the virus, which ended up getting spread to the other players. Moreover, the team was also not vaccinated necessarily for traveling to another country. Next up, they'll be facing Mikel Arteta's Arsenal on July 27.
Nevertheless, despite all the troubles, Barcelona's President, Joan Laporta, has been spotted having fun with a few women at a party in Los Angeles. Laporta has been doing a brilliant job in the authoritative role at Camp Nou. The Blaugrana also secured the La Liga Crown last season.
