If we had Laporta instead of Bartomeu, we would have had more CLs between 2012-2022
Laporta didn't save the club from barely existing, that's a stretch. But in a short time he made it elite again. In a VERY SHORT time, and with one arm tied behind his back.
In modern football history, he's as good as it comes, along with Florentino.

So here are the net spends in La Liga since Laporta returned in 2021.
We should not even be competing.
Yet we are winning domestic trebles playing the most exciting football in Europe.
And people are still complaining.
Positive variance in small sample size can make wonders.

Pretty average summer from him now that business is done.
Garcia and Rashford were decent acquisitions.
Still think the decision not to reinforce the LB or CB position is a big mistake.
Should have probably sold Araujo and a midfielder like Casado to make that happen.
