Thread: President Bartomeu& #39;s interview with Mundo Deportivo.
Bartomeu: "Yes, Barcelona is a favourite to win the Champions League. We& #39;re favourites to win any competition that we participate in."
Bartomeu: "The coach and the players have taken some time to do self-criticism and it has served positivity and eagerness."
Bartomeu: "We had a strong rival in Madrid, who beat us, but it& #39;s also true that the management of the VAR was not the most adequate in this last section of La Liga, and the best league in the world deserves a VAR to match that."
Bartomeu: "The VAR is a very powerful tool, but in the same or similar situations they have had different outcomes in different games."
Bartomeu: "I have an excellent relationship with Xavi and we talk about many topics. But next season Quique Setién has a contract and we trust in him."
Bartomeu: "The coaching staff must communicate with the players, exchange opinions and reflections and this unites the group."
Bartomeu: "Messi is a player who& #39;s very ambitious, he wants to win."
Bartomeu: "This team is very competitive."
Bartomeu: "Dembélé will surprise at Barça in a season with no injuries. He& #39;s had real bad luck."
Bartomeu: "The coaches mostly decide who we sign, not us."
Bartomeu: "Messi has said many times that he wants to retire here and I have no doubt that he will renew."
Bartomeu: "Ter Stegen& #39;s renewal is among our priorities right now. Not only for his quality as a goalkeeper but for his personality as a player, his way of being. He& #39;s an example for everyone in the dressing room."
Bartomeu: "Suárez has a contract that, depending on the number of games he plays, automatically renews for the 2021-22 season."
Bartomeu: "Yes, we have spoken to Inter Milan for Martínez, but negotiations are parked right now."
Bartomeu: "We already have seven new signings. Pedri, Trincão, Fernandes, Pjanić, Araujo, Fati and Riqui."
Bartomeu: "Peña trains continuously with the first team and he has a future at Barça."
Bartomeu: "Elections will be held in 2021."
Bartomeu: "We& #39;re close to agreeing a deal for the title rights of the Camp Nou. It& #39;s a solidarity project to help COVID-19& #39;s research. I look forward to announcing it when the Champions League ends."
