Recognition in Turin! Barcelona president receives prestigious European award

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has received a prestigious international honour, being named European President of the Year at the European Golden Boy awards.

Details: The prestigious title was awarded to the Blaugrana chief by respected Italian newspaper Tuttosport, the long-standing organiser of the award.
