JOAN LAPORTA rocked up to the Nou Camp for Barcelona’s 4-0 win over Real Valladolid sporting a nasty-looking black eye.
The Blaugrana president had a shiner for all to see as he made his way to his seat in the directors’ box.
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”.
