Laporta: Nobody Wants To Win This

Barcelona president Joan Laporta was frustrated after his team's disappointing goalless draw with Getafe on Sunday, one that sees them once again pass up an opportunity to close up on Real Madrid.

The results prompted Joan Laporta to proclaim what many have been suggesting for some time: nobody is really determined enough to win La Liga.

"We had the obligation to win the match, but we couldn't do it," he began. "We have to keep on fighting because we can still win this league.

"Of course, it does seem like no team wants to win the league. But there are still seven matches left and we have to be in there."

Laporta also suggested that anxiety might be hurting Barcelona's title push.

"I would rather have the hope of winning than be scared about losing, which I think is the thing that is wearing us out," he opined.

Laporta came under heavy pressure from Barcelona fans this evening, who think the team's bad form is much in due to the decisions made by the him.

At the end of their match with Getafe, the fans demonstrated their disapproval for Laporta with massive-scale protesting, with banners reading: "Barcelona yes, Laporta no. Enough of mercenaries."

The Barcelona president didn't want to comment on that, or Ronaldinho's imminent transfer to AC Milan, which is likely to be worth around 20 million euros if a FIFA clause is activated.

"Ronaldinho is injured at the moment and I would prefer not to talk about those players who are out," he stated, adding that it was not appropriate moment to talk about the transfer fee.

"It isn't the right moment to talk about that. We are only worried about the team, and we are only interested in the current season right now. Soon there will be time to talk about those kinds of issues."

The Brazilian is almost certain to be sold in what will kick off a massive overhaul at Camp Nou.
