Newly elected Barcelona president Joan Laporta has sent a message to his players ahead of tonight’s crunch Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
The Blaugrana trail 4-1 from the first leg and have it all to do in the return of their Round of 16 clash in Paris.
Laporta wrote on Instagram: “Let our players feel the heat and support of every Barca fan. Because we are more than a club! Long live Barca!”

The new president travelled with the squad for the trip to the French capital and will likely accompany them for all future matches under his presidency.
Laporta – who was formerly the club’s president between 2003 and 2010, when they won two Champions League trophies – secured the presidency with 30,184 votes (54.28 percent of the votes) and is now tasked with steering the club through a turbulent financial period and providing stability.
