Barcelona president Laporta speaks for first time since Xavi dismissal

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has offered some words on Xavi's firing on Friday.

Today was the first time Laporta has spoken since Xavi's axing.

The president was speaking at the Barca womens Champions League victory function.

He first indicated that being "president of Bara was very difficult" before echoing the situation of the men's team without directly referring to Xavi.

All decisions, all, are for the good of Bara and for the benefit of Bara," the Catalan leader stated before discussing the womens' triumph.
