Barcelona president Joan Laporta turns up to Nou Camp with black eye after suffering ‘domestic accident’


JOAN LAPORTA rocked up to the Nou Camp for Barcelona’s 4-0 win over Real Valladolid sporting a nasty-looking black eye.

Laporta was in the stands alongside vice-president Rafael Yuste and Real Madrid legend and Valladolid’s president Ronaldo.

He initially arrived wearing sunglasses, but once Ronaldo joined him, he took off his shades to expose his black eye.

It remains unclear how exactly the 60-year-old picked up the bruise around his right eye.

According to AS, the club state that Laporta was involved in a “domestic accident”.

Lewandowski then put Barca three to the good just after the hour mark with an exquisite backheel after latching onto Dembele’s through ball.

Sergi Roberto then put the icing on the cake for the hosts in stoppage time.
