Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta has defended his old club over FIFA's transfer ban.
Barca have been banned from the transfer market for 12 months over their deals for junior players.
But Laporta says: "It is well known that we educate people before we make players of them, and what is more that we do it very well.
"Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Valdés, Puyol, Piqué, Busquets, Pedro... - all of these have come up through our home system, at La Masia, and for many years now we have been training young players in a highly professional and caring way, with psychologists, and teachers to show these young people how to manage their lives and how they can become stars in the world of football."
