He also added: “The sensations are good. I have gone out to vote and the sun has risen.
“I hope it will be a great democratic day. It is a pity that we cannot live the day close to Barcelona fans because of the coronavirus.
“We have the best project to face the most important challenge of our lives.
“We want Barça to be sustainable again and that it never ceases to be the property of its partners. We have done a great campaign.”
