The former Barça president hit out after the club's loss to Bayern Munich

Joan Laporta has spoken out against the Barcelona board after the Catalan club's 8-2 destruction at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Friday. 

The former Barça president sent a message on social media after the club's biggest ever European defeat brought the curtains down on a first trophy-less season since 2007-08. 

"After such a painful defeat, the comments made by president [Josep Maria] Bartomeu are, once again, a sign of cowardness and ineptitude," he wrote.

"The incompetence of him and his board prevents them from making adequate decisions that condition Barça's future." 

In addition to Laporta's rant, Victor Font, who will stand in the next presidential elections, called for Bartomeu to resign and bring forward elections by a year -- they are due to be held in 2021.
