Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff has hit out at the current board.

Cruyff has joined the ticket of Barca presidential candidate Joan Laporta.

"It's been an exceptional year in sporting terms, with good football and titles won. It's been perfect. But that's not the whole story, there has also been a loss of values. Such as with 'La Masia'. Barça has also run away with the world championship for tweets about legal issues and that cannot be. We need to get serious," said the Dutchman.

"When Barcelona was doing badly, there were two decisions made that had a significant impact on the way they played and thought, and those were the signings of Rijkaard and Guardiola. Both spent eight years at the helm of the first team, developing a project in which 'La Masia' was the magic word and that is now no longer the case."
