Presidential candidate Font will give Barcleona fans and Messi the spectacular reunion.

-I think Laporta has done it, and he has done it many times, and I think he did it wrong; the most obvious example was during the election. Another example of a broken promise, and I think Messi should not be used, but Messi must know that the first thing I will do when I win the election is to pick up the phone and call him. It will be the first phone call I make, promises Barca’s potential next club president.
