Around midnight, Joan Laporta burst into the Auditori 1899 accompanied by his entire board and the FC Barcelona mascot, Cat, after his victory was officially confirmed with 100% of the vote count completed. Josep Cubells, in charge of facilitating the results, and Rafa Yuste, president of the club, were waiting on stage to receive him.

The excitement was palpable in the atmosphere. Laporta, smiling, took the stand and was greeted with shouts of “President! President!” His first statement was forceful: “This result is overwhelming and gives us a lot of strength, so much so that it makes us unstoppable. No one will stop us.”

The Blaugrana leader thanked the members for their participation and praised the club's democratic spirit: “This club continues to be an example: the members vote on who represents them. It has been a celebration of civility and Barcelona.”

He recognized the work of executives, workers and volunteers who made election day possible. Laporta mentioned his team and the electoral board, underlining the collaboration of the rival 'Nosaltres' candidacy, which contributed to making the elections a true celebration of the club.

In his speech, Laporta paid tribute to key figures at the club, both current and historical, including Hansi Flick, Deco, Bojan, Alexanco, Andrés Manzano, Xavi Pascual and many others. He also highlighted the dedication of Maite Laporta, who coordinated the campaign team, and the volunteers who organized the events.

The president-elect emphasized that the victory reflects the members' choice for the unity of the club: “There has been a proposal for confrontation, but the members have decided that we all defend Barça against everything and everyone. It is a support for our work and gives us strength to move forward: finish Spotify Camp Nou, the new Palau and strengthen the team with Flick on the field and Deco in the offices.”

Laporta showed special pride in the players' participation in the voting, a symbol of the club's openness and transparency: “Barça is a Catalan and global institution, and seeing that the players exercise their right to vote makes me very happy.”

Laporta's final message was one of determination and unity: “This result is overwhelming and makes us unstoppable. We will continue defending Barça against everyone. Exciting years are coming and they will be the best years of our lives.” He closed with an energetic “Visca el Barça i Visca Catalunya”, while the applause and shouts of the members filled the Auditori 1899.
