How Laporta became the life of the party after Barcelona’s Spanish Super Cup triumph – report | OneFootball

According to a report from AS, after Barcelona’s victory in the Spanish Super Cup, the return flight back became an unforgettable celebration of their triumph.

The match, which saw Barça lift their first trophy under Hansi Flick, was not just a significant win but one that was earned dramatically. Beating Real Madrid made it even sweeter.

This victory came after months of tension, including the controversy surrounding the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, and a public snub from club president Joan Laporta, who caused a stir when he entered the stadium.

With the pressure mounting from all directions, it was inevitable that emotions would boil over. As the flight to Barcelona took off, a surge of excitement swept through the plane, with Laporta leading the charge.

What really happened?

The atmosphere was one of pure elation, far removed from the intense, often hostile nature of the build-up to the game. The president was fully in the mood for celebration, becoming the life of the party.

According to reports, the six-hour flight was filled with moments of pure joy and craziness. The players, enjoying the victory, seized the opportunity to get Laporta to promise them a bonus for winning the title.

The previous Super Cup had earned players a bonus of €100,000 each, with the staff receiving €10,000.

As the mood on the plane continued to grow more lively, Laporta led a chant that became infectious. “Boti, boti, boti, madridista el que no boti!” he shouted, which roughly translates to “bounce, bounce, bounce, Real Madrid fan if you don’t bounce!”

Everyone joined in

Soon, many passengers were joining in, bouncing in unison to the rhythm set by Laporta, much to the dismay of those less thrilled by the raucous celebrations.

Laporta’s energy didn’t stop there. He went on to lead an impromptu conga line down the aisle of the plane, with directors and family members joining in the fun.

What started as a formal toast to the Super Cup win quickly turned into a chaotic, high-spirited party.

It was the perfect way to cap off an emotional and historic day for Barcelona, one that will likely be remembered as much for the celebrations in the air as for the win on the field.
