Laporta, who rescued Barcelona from financial ruin since returning in 2021, quit along with eight board members under club rules, paving the way for challengers like Victor Font. Rafa Yuste takes over as interim president until the season ends June 30, while candidates must gather over 2,100 member signatures by March 2 to qualify. Laporta remains the favorite after stabilizing finances, signing Hansi Flick, and fueling a La Liga title push, though rivals promise stability and stars like Messi or Haaland.

Key Takeaway

Joan Laporta stepped down as Barcelona president Monday, starting the club's electoral process ahead of the March 15 vote. It's a required move to give rivals a fair shot.

In Sunday's Liga Portugal Betclic match, Cabral headed Samuel Dahl's cross in the 86th minute to secure a 2-1 victory over Alverca, after João Figueiredo had equalized Alverca's early Sidnei Schjelderup opener. It was Cabral's second senior goal in under 30 minutes of top-flight play—both under José Mourinho, who called the young forward 'blessed' for his finishing touch. Born in 2008, Cabral rose through Benfica's academy and starred with seven goals as Portugal won the UEFA U-17 Euros and FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2024, making him the club's youngest league scorer this century.

Seventeen-year-old Anísio Cabral stepped off the bench at Estádio da Luz and nodded home a winner just 30 seconds later, turning the game for Benfica.
