Laporta tells Real that “be taught how to lose”

Barca's leader sent a clear message to the eternal rival, stressing the importance of accepting victories and sports losses.

The question about Madrid's absence, Laporta answered briefly:

They can do whatever they want. We focus on Barca. Out of respect for the nominated, winners and organization, we go. That's part of our way of understanding the sport. You can win and you can lose. You should know how to lose. We're lucky to make a lot of money and lose a little”.

In those words, Laporta pointed out that for Barcelona, participation in events at this level is an act of respect for football and its protagonists despite the outcome.

The boycott of the Golden Ball ceremony from Reale comes from last year, as Winnitius Jr did not win the award. /Periscope
