Laporta: FIFA overly harsh on Barca

Former Barcelona President Joan Laporta believes that FIFA have been ‘overly harsh’ on the Catalan club.

The game’s governing body handed the Camp Nou outfit a two window transfer ban after breaking rules regarding the signing of under-18 players.

And the lawyer, who was in charge at Barca between 2003 and 2010, has insisted that the club will win an appeal.

“FIFA have been overly harsh on Barça,” he told reporters in Bahrain.

“If we appeal they'll see we're right.”
