‘What Happens In Vegas, stays in Vegas!’ – Barca President Joan Laporta Trolls Real Madrid With Huge Electronic Banner

FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has issued a message to archrivals Real Madrid ahead of the season’s first “El Clasico.” The Spanish giants will meet in a preseason friendly on Sunday at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

What Was Laporta’s Message to Real Madrid?

In the build-up to the Clasico, Joan Laporta’s campaign manager, Lluis Carrasco, released an advertising on a huge electronic banner that read, “Don’t worry Merengues, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”

Laporta likely brought up Real Madrid’s 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Xavi’s team at the Santiago Bernabeu last season.

Carrasco launched a similar advertising stunt for the 2021 presidential election in Barcelona. The message “Looking forwards to seeing you again” was displayed outside Santiago Bernabeu. The catchphrase is thought to have helped Laporta’s campaign for re-election at the Catalan club.

Who Will Be Barcelona’s Next Signing?

Barcelona have already signed Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, and Robert Lewandowski, but they are not finished yet.

Barcelona have been considering a move for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde and could still make a late bid for him, despite Chelsea being close to an agreement.

However, if Kounde is not available, the Camp Nou side have various other options to reinforce their defence. According to sources, they are also interested in Villarreal center-back Pau Torres, Arsenal’s William Saliba, Inter star Milan Skriniar, RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol, Athletic Club’s Inigo Martinez, and Roma defender Roger Ibanez.

Barca have already signed players like Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski to bolster the attack, so bolstering the defence is now their top goal.
