Barcelona's Laporta Addresses Player Registration Controversy

FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta addressed the ongoing registration controversy surrounding players Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid. He stated that the issue could have been avoided if regulations had been properly applied, expressing relief that a temporary solution was reached, allowing both players to participate. The Higher Sports Council (CSD) granted Barcelona a precautionary measure to register the players after initial rejections by La Liga and the RFEF due to late documentation submissions. However, La Liga plans to appeal the CSD's decision, suggesting that the situation may not be fully resolved. Despite the ongoing tensions, Laporta emphasized the need to focus on the upcoming match rather than the controversy. He plans to provide further details on the matter in a press conference next week.
