During Tuesday's press conference, Raphinha admitted that he thinks it could be difficult for Barcelona to attract signings due to the registration case involving Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, which is still ongoing. While these comments are widely accepted as reality by many of the club's supporters, they appear to have irritated Joan Laporta, who has come under heavy criticism over the issue.
A minute after the end of Raphinha and Hansi Flick's press conference, Laporta was recorded on video speaking to the Brazilian winger for about a minute, using many gestures. As such, it was observed that a “reprimand” was handed out by the Barcelona president.
There is no doubt that the registration issue has been very difficult for Barcelona at all levels. The club are still confident they can count on Olmo and Victor for the rest of the season, although neither will be involved in Saudi Arabia (unless a precaution is taken before Sunday's final, assuming the Catalans Athletic Club in Wednesday's semi-final).
