Six Barcelona board members resigned from the club with immediate effect.

Vice presidents Emili Rousaud and Enrique Tombas, directors Silvio Elias, Maria Teixidor, Josep Pont, and secretary of the board Jordi Clasamiglia all handed in their resignation in protest of how the club was being run.

The board members wrote a public letter of resignation, documented below:

"We would like to communicate that the directors signed below have informed President Bartomeu of our decision to irrevocably resign our positions at the club.

"We have reached this point and see no way to reverse the ways business is managed at the club ahead of important challanges in the future and especially post-pandemic.

"We want to stress our disappoint over the unfortunate incident with social media accounts, known as ‘Barçagate’ in the press.

We ask that once the current audit is carried out by PwC we want to ensure the accountability will be handed to those it corresponds to.

Lastly, although it's the least important thing, we want to thank the directors and express our gratitude to our colleagues on the board who have dedicated their energy and strength to the good of Fútbol Club Barcelona. We would like to thank the executives and the employes of the club for your support and excellent work during this time. It has been our pleasure to serve out beloved Barça.

A big salute to all,

VISCA EL BARÇA

Emili Rousaud i Parés, Enric Tombas i Navarro, Maria Teixidor i Jufresa,
