"In 2022, many of the players who are here now, or others currently at other clubs, will come back to Barça as coaches, directors of football or even presidents because at the end of the day, we are all like one big family", Bartomeu pointed out.
All the same, the president did criticise the work done by Barcelona's Argentine manager Gerardo Martino last season - one which ended with the club not winning any major trophies. "He was a manager who came over from Argentina, and he saw football differently to the way we do", he said.
Bartomeu also spoke of the "limitless" value of Argentina player Lionel Messi, the big star of the team, in spite of the criticism he has received. "For us, Messi is about a lot more than just goals and trophies; he represents the spirit of the young footballer, who came to La Masía, our football academy, and grew up at the club. Messi's value to Barça is limitless. He came to our club when he was 13 and he has just turned 27. He is one of us", he declared.
