Joan Laporta appeared on the stage of the Auditori 1899 of the Camp Nou three minutes before 11 am on Monday. The president of Barcelona likes to be punctual, but before he took the lectern to offer his explanations, those who took center stage were others.

From a back door came the Compliance Officer of Barcelona, Sergi Atienza, accompanied by the head of the entity's legal services, Pere Lluís Mellado, as well as the lawyer Marc Molins.
