The FC Barcelona first team squad, the coaching staff, and the board celebrated the end-of-season dinner this Wednesday at the Restaurant Casanova Beach Club in Castelldefels, with about 150 guests. The gathering, initially planned as a celebration for the League and Super Cup titles, also ended up becoming a tribute to Robert Lewandowski, who announced his departure from the club on Saturday. In fact, he already said goodbye to the fans in the last match at Camp Nou against Betis. The Polish forward received recognition from his teammates and the coaching staff in an internal event, even though there is still one match left to play.

The most veteran employees of Barça remember Thursday, February 13, 2003, perfectly. The day before, Joan Gaspart had announced his resignation as president, putting an end to a disastrous administration that left the club on the brink of collapse. As stipulated in the statutes, the first vice-president, Enric Reyna, assumed the presidency. At that time, tours of the Camp Nou were already being offered, and to the guides' surprise, when they entered the presidential box, they found that the plaque with the new president's name had already been hung. Reyna didn't wait even 24 hours to make it clear that he was in charge.

A year ago, at the meeting with journalists to privately explain Barça's figures, two members of the club were present: director and treasurer Ferran Olivé and executive Manel del Río, director of the corporate area. Both spent a morning presenting the conclusions and answering the many questions from those present, even exceeding the allotted time. After the meeting ended, some journalists commented in the corridors. the good impression that Olivé had made on them for his ability to didactically explain economic issues (despite his medical profession) without hesitating when asked questions.
