Barcelona president Joan Laporta declared that FC Barcelona is playing the best football in Europe and the world, ahead of their Champions League match against Galatasaray in Istanbul. Laporta acknowledged other strong contenders like PSG and Bayern Munich but insisted Barcelona offers the most spectacle. He credited the Deco-Flick combination for the team's excellent atmosphere and ambition, and expressed hope that Lamine Yamal wins the Ballon d'Or. The president avoided commenting on Vinícius, saying he was allowed to speak only if he avoided that topic. He described the Galatasaray match as a Champions League game, noting the team arrives in strong form with good feelings after an intense training session.
