Barcelona have had a challenging month thus far at least in terms of off-field difficulties.
Tension arose at the beginning of the month due to CSD’s decision on Dani Olmo and Pau Victor’s registration concerns. The Catalan giants were fortunate to be at the favourable end of the decision.
However, fans continued to criticize Joan Laporta harshly for his handling of the matter.
According to Diario SPORT as reported by Barca Universal, Barcelona president faced widespread disapproval from his own players because of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor’s registration issues.

As per the report, the sequence of events took place prior to the trip to Saudi Arabia, when Laporta’s presence in the dressing room was demanded by his players.
The summon came after coach Hansi Flick attempted to explain the complexities of the club’s dealings with LaLiga regarding VIP seat revenues, leaving the squad with more questions than answers.
The players, frustrated by the events, demanded Laporta’s presence and wanted him to explain what was going on with the club’s finances.
When Laporta arrived at the Ciutat Deportiva, he was met with a stern question from the players: “Couldn’t you have done this earlier?”
It was an obvious indication of their dissatisfaction with the timing and handling of the situation. Laporta’s response was sophisticated and somewhat lost on the players, who, by the end, chose not to dig further into his explanations about club policies, legalities, and strategies.
