Barcelona president Laporta: This cycle is over; we lost LaLiga incomprehensibly

Barcelona president Joan Laporta admits major decisions will have to be made this summer.

Pressure has been mounting on Ronald Koeman with the Catalans' recent collapse in the LaLiga Santander title race, and the Dutchman could well find himself out of work as soon as next week.

"I said that I'd evaluate at the end of the season depending on the results and performances," Laporta said.

"We won the Copa del Rey, and we're proud of that, but we were knocked out of the Champions League early and LaLiga [Santander] was lost incomprehensibly.

"From my point of view, you'll see that a lot of decision have to be made, starting next week. We'll comment on them then. We have to work hard and and have a competitive team in the Champions League and domestically.

"When I say that this is the end of a cycle, it's because that's what I think is necessary."
