The president of the "Barcelona" team, Joan Laporta, commented on the decision of the Madrid "Real" team, which has sparked a lot of discussion.

The "La Liga" club, led by Florentino Perez, decided to boycott the "Ballon d'Or" awards ceremony for the second consecutive year.

"Let them do what they want. We only care about "Barcelona" matters. We respect the nominees and the organizers, so we will never skip the ceremonies.

Such is our understanding of sports. You can win, but you can also lose.

You have to learn to accept defeat. Of course, we are lucky that "Barca" often wins and rarely experiences failures," explained J. Laporta.
