On Sunday, Rafael Nadal made tennis history a little more by overthrowing Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final (2-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5), winning his 21st Grand Slam title, overtaking his two rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, to sit alone at the top of victories in major tournaments. A victory that was not to the liking of Alfons Godall, vice-president of the Barça Foundation, who said followingwards: “Rafael Noël (Nadal means Christmas in Catalan) has been repugnant to me since day one. I put it in the same bag as La Roja (the Spanish football team), Real Madrid, (Fernando) Alonso and everything that represents the enemy state” he had indicated.

Godall resigns!

A speech that had consequences, while Nadal, a true icon in Spain, forced the leader to resign from his post: “The tweet where I express my opinion regarding a celebrity and his profile can harm the Barça Foundation, due to the pressure exerted by certain companies and certain media. I don’t want to cost Barca a penny or give up my freedom of expression. Therefore, I renounce my charge. Thank you !” he launched.

A decision confirmed by Joan Laporta: “He considered that, as there were complaints from business owners, investors and Foundation sponsors following a tweet he wrote, he did not want to harm the Foundation and he therefore decided to voluntarily resign from his post” he said during the presentation of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, adding that he “respect his decision“.

Teasing, the Barcelona president did not want Nadal to support the rival, Real Madrid: “It’s a shame he’s not a Barça supporter, but we forgive him, because he delights us with his tennis” he concluded considering the tennis player as a “great character“.
