Robert Lewandowski has publicly declared his support for Joan Laporta in Barcelona’s presidential elections scheduled for March 15. In an interview with Sky Sports News, the striker expressed his trust in the current leadership and emphasized that Laporta understands what the club represents.
Since joining Barcelona in the summer of 2022, when Laporta had already been president for over a year, Lewandowski has scored 115 goals. He praised Laporta's management not only for sporting achievements but also for ambitious projects like the new stadium, which motivate everyone within the club.
Lewandowski highlighted stability, confidence in the club’s direction, and respect for Barcelona’s identity as key aspects under Laporta’s presidency. Notably, he is the first first-team player to publicly back a candidate ahead of the elections, which could sway public opinion.
This endorsement is significant because with ongoing changes at the club, maintaining confidence and a clear vision is crucial. Lewandowski’s support underscores the value of Laporta’s steady leadership for Barcelona’s future.
