Joan Laporta (58) was elected president of FC Barcelona on Sunday with about 58% of the vote, after counting 99% of the ballots, and returns to the helm of a club he had left in 2010, to begin its reconstruction.
Four months after the resignation of ex-president Josep Maria Bartomeu on October 27, Laporta crushed this historically high turnout, and will have the main mission of extending the contract of legend Lionel Messi, which ends on 30 June.
He was ahead in the ballot box Victor Font (32%) and Toni Freixa (10%).
