President Laporta gives pep talk to Barca players ahead of Copa Del Rey final (video)
Pictures of Joan Laporta giving Leo Messi a warm hug went viral on Tuesday. Albeit, Mr President didn't just spend his time with the Barca skipper.
Before participating in the team photo for 2020/21, Laporta spent some time giving the Barcelona players some pep talk ahead of the Copa del Rey final which comes up on Saturday.
Barcelona is the most successful club in Copa Del Rey history with 30 titles. Coincidentally, Athletic Bilbao who faces Barca in the final are the second most successful team in the competition with 23 wins.
In the league, Barca are still strong title contenders. The Blaugrana are 2 points behind leaders Atletico in the title race.
'The players were f***ing killers': Guardiola recalls Barca's 2012 Copa del Rey win
"Our [Barca's] Cup title in 2012? I remember that when we went out onto the pitch I saw the tension in the faces of the Athletic players. The Barca players, on the other hand, seemed to be playing a friendly match. They were used to it. They knew they would win," Pep Guardiola has told TV3.
"Marcelo Bielsa's teams [Athletic Bilbao were trained by Bielsa in 2012] are educated in resilience and never give up. Those Barca players, if they could score five goals, they would do it; and if they could score 8, they would score 8. They were very good people, but on the pitch, they were f***ing killers," he added.
About 11 years ago, Barca beat Bilbao 3-0, the goals scored by Pedro (2) and Leo Messi. On the way to the final, the Catalans defeated L'Hospitalet, Osasuna, Real Madrid and Valencia.
This Saturday, Blaugrana will face Bilbao in the Copa final with Ronald Koeman as manager.
