Bartomeu puts forward Barça’s success during his presidency

FC Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu recently spoke in an interview with TV3. The chief highlighted the clubs success during his management, and told that the important thing is the club to improve and grow.

“The club has become the benchmark in the world of sports; not only in social terms but also economically. Sandro Rosell (former president) added nine titles, and under my management, we won 13 new titles. In the past 10 years, we collected 22 titles, which means 2.2 per season. That is very good.”, explained Bartomeu.

Bartomeu has already become the president to bring the most titles to Barcelona since Joan Laporta (2003-2010), and in case Barça wins the Champions League this season, he can even extend the record.

When asked what he thinks about the fact that he will become the fourth president to have managed the club for the longest period, Bartomeu explained that the important thing is titles:

“I count titles, and not the years of presidency. For me, the important thing is that Barça keeps growing and improving.”
