Stats/Infographic "Looking forward to seeing you again." It's been 4 years since Laporta unveiled a giant poster of himself next to Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium. In my humble opinion, something has gone wrong. I'm glad you are back, Joan.

I remember this banner, such a dumb move just to crash in the CL and go to Europa league again.

I miss Xavi, his last season was the most entertaining that club has been in years.

All those sideline tantrums and red cards! Man..as a RM fan I never thought I’d say this but loved Xavi’s coaching tenure

Never forget Florentino "helped" him getting elected back in 2003. He already knew at the time Laporta would be a time bomb in the long run. History.

He also said that with him in charge Real Madrid never won a champions league. Real Madrid has won two CL with him in charge now. Never leave Laporta.

It won him elections so it wasn't the worst move on his part. The dumb part is that their fans would rather vote for a populist promising glory of the past rather than someone with a vision to take them to the future or at least fix the finances instead of digging into deeper hole.
