Joan Laporta has made Barcelona fans hopeful.

The president of the Catalan giant says he is working to build a solid and competitive team, which will seek to win trophies.

Barca had a drastic decline after the departure of Lionel Messi.

But, with the engagement of coach Xavi Hernandez, the smile and hope returned to “Blaugrana”, who are going through positive moments.

“I said we would bring a smile back to Barcelona and we are on the right track to do that. In this moment I see hope and joy. We are all aware that this hope can become a great joy thanks to daily work. At every hour, at every moment, we think to achieve this goal. We want to win titles and give joy to all of you,” Laporta told the Spanish daily “Sport”.

Barca is currently in third place in La Liga and the goal of this team this year is to enter the Top 4.
