E114: Barca CEO Reverter resigns as Spotify arrive?
Added 2022-02-09 21:29:10 +0000 UTCSam, Rik and Toni are joined by special guest Marc Menchen to discuss another busy week off the pitch for Barcelona after the 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid last Sunday (but not before Toni's recommended some restaurants).
That Atletico game was watched by a Spotify delegation at Camp Nou as the club seek to close a sponsorship deal with the Swedish company. However, in part, that deal has played a role in the breakdown of Reverter's relationship with president Joan Laporta, leading to his resignation this week.
Marc joins the show to discuss the Spotify deal in detail, whether it's good for Barça in the current (post-pandemic, post-Messi) market and what it could mean for the name of Camp Nou in the long-term. He also discusses the significance of Reverter's departure.
You can find Marc on Twitter or writing for 2Playbook, who offer insight into the business side of Barca and the wider football and sporting world.

What does Toni think about restaurant «La Flauta»? For me, who have been in Barcelona 10-12 times, its my favourite there 😊
