Barcelona president Laporta (finally) comments on PSG setback

Laporta has kept his own counsel since the 2-1 reverse.

But he spoke this morning, stating: "We see ourselves with the strength to continue.

"I was with (coach Hansi) Flick, with the players and with (sporting director) Deco, and I liked their reaction: they are aware that there are things to correct."

For Laporta, this defeat can be a blessing in disguise: "Better now than later, because I see them motivated to fight for the Champions League. Our players will never give up!"
