Barcelona president Bartomeu: We made mistakes with youth recruitment

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu admits they've "made mistakes" in their youth recruitment.

Barca are now facing a transfer ban for breaking recruitment rules.

Bartomeu spoke about FIFA's transfer ban for irregularities in the signing of underage players at yesterday's presentation of the youth teams at the club's training installations.

"We did a lot of things right, we also made a few small mistakes, which we discovered and which we've now fixed. Things [here] are done right, professionally and with rigour," said the Barcelona president.
