Before the first matchday of the Champions League group stage, Laporta had lunch with Feyenoord's senior management. Upon arriving at the restaurant, he was interviewed by journalists present, discussing the club's objectives and his views on the Ballon d'Or nominations.

Laporta said: "Our objective is to win the league three times in a row, which would be an extraordinary achievement. Our objective is to continue dominating the cup competitions, which is also great. Our objective is to win the Spanish Super Cup, sending a strong signal in the middle of the season that we are determined to win. Of course, this year we also want to win the Champions League. If you ask me what the main objective is, I will answer without hesitation: yes."

"Barcelona is a unique club in the world, and the Ballon d'Or nominations received by our players, coach, and club as a whole are the best proof of this, and we are very proud of it. Our players should be grateful for everything Barcelona has given them, and my favorites are Barcelona's players. If a Barcelona player wins, I will be very happy."

"Yamal is extraordinary, he is very talented, a genius, and I think he deserves to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or. He is gifted, mature, and remarkable for his age. He is also captain... I also want to say that I feel sorry for some players who should also be able to be captain, like Gavi, who also has a brilliant record."

"This is a decision by the players and Flick, and I think it is a very wise decision. Speaking about the nomination list, I regret that Pedri and Raphinha are not included. I think they also deserve to be nominated; their quality makes them worthy of nomination."
