‘Barca ’ll clinch title on final day’

13.03.2008

FORMER Barcelona club president Joan Gaspart has declared that the blaugrana will secure the Liga title on the final day of the season...

Last year, Real Madrid lifted the trophy on last day of the league, but Joan Laporta's predecessor now feels that it's Barça's turn.

"We'll get it in the last match at the last minute," he said. "That will make it even better."

Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero had previously stated much the same, to Gaspart's evident delight. "If the leader of government says that, then it won't be me that says the opposite," he grinned. He continued, "I always love Barcelona, as it's like a woman.

"Barça is one of the most beautiful women in the world. On certain days it may be more grateful, or less, but the 'woman' does not change, and everyone here loves her.”
