Barcelona president Joan Laporta has sent a message to fans after their Champions League defeat at home to Bayern Munich.
The Barcelona president publicly acknowledged that he is hurt by both the result and the team's display, but he urged the fans to place their confidence in the club's board.
"Hello, Cules, I am as outraged and hurt as you are," said Laporta.
"What is happening is one of the scenarios that we contemplated, and I ask you be patient and continue to support the team.
"And I also ask you to be confident in those of us who are leading the club. We need your trust and time, and have no doubt that we will solve this situation."
