"I remember my visit to Tegueste [a city on the island of Tenerife where Pedri was born] when I was president. We met and I signed a t-shirt for you [looks at Pedri]. How things change. Now you sign [t-shirts]," Joan Laporta has said at the presser dedicated to Pedri's contract extension.
"In our free time, we went to the Basilica of Candelaria [Catholic Church, small basilica located in the city of Candelaria, Tenerife], there was a mass. Candelaria is like the [Catalan] monastery of Montserrat, it was impressive.
"Even the priest was rooting for Barсa. No wonder Messi... sorry Pedri was a Barca fan given he was growing up in such an environment," the president said.
Some Sports.ru and Twitter neutrals have come up with some great reactions to this.
💭 Marcus-light: "Laporta said – Laporta did it. He has signed a new Messi deal. I would re-read the contract if I were Pedri."
💭 Hernandez Hernandez: " A slip of the tongue worth €1,000,000,000. "
💭 Hamster's Cheek: "It still hurts."
💭 Grogu: "This is that feeling when you have sex with your partner and accidentally mention your ex's name."
