Laporta told Mundo Deportivo: "It was an extraordinary party. Everyone was very elegant and had a great time. I regret not being there.

"This is simply today's youth. There's nothing to reproach about."

Beyond the media criticism, the president especially wanted to praise Yamal's professionalism, having recently been assigned the number 10 jersey. The young Spanish talent, in fact, showed up regularly for training the day after the party, ready to begin summer preparations for the 2025-2026 season.

"He's a serious, professional, and very committed guy. I have nothing to reproach him for, on the contrary," added Laporta.
