Barcelona held its annual general meeting recently. Chairman Laporta revealed the details of negotiations with UEFA and explained the necessity of traveling to Miami for the game.

Laporta revealed that UEFA had wanted to ban Barcelona from participating in this season's Champions League. He also explained the meaning of "leverage", saying that these measures are "not a sale of assets, but a temporary transfer."

Laporta further explained: "These leverage measures prevent Barcelona members from paying out of their own pockets. This is a way to transfer assets within a certain period of time, and then we will recover these assets. We will temporarily transfer 25% of the TV broadcast rights in exchange for funds. This is not a sale, but a temporary transfer."

Laporta also mentioned that some people have tried to persuade Barcelona to sign the CVC agreement, but this will only lead to higher costs. "That decision helped us save the club and strengthen the team."

Laporta also revealed, "UEFA wanted to ban us from participating in the Champions League next season. Since Barcelona is not a joint-stock company and cannot carry out capital expansion, this became one of our reasons for seeking to reduce the fine. We will eventually be found guilty of financial violations. The fine under the Political Fairness Act was reduced from 60 million euros to 15 million euros."

Regarding the game in Miami, he said: "We are not keen on letting the team travel to other places to play, but as the former chairman said, we need to obtain financial income."

"Both Deco and Flick attach great importance to the players' status. Physical condition, but going to the Arab region is to earn extra income, and the same is true for going to Miami. La Liga will benefit from this, as will all other teams, especially Barcelona and Villarreal who are participating. "

"Promoting our image will help attract more sponsors, and we will definitely seize the opportunity to expand our influence in the increasingly important market of the United States, especially as the next World Cup will also be held in the United States. "

Laporta also took the NBA as an example: "The NBA hopes to land in Europe, set up a European division, and compete with the American division in the global finals. They are in talks, which will also bring in revenue. "
