Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits the recent arrest of former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is far from an ideal situation.
The Catalan giants have been going through significant turmoil in the past six to 12 months.
Most of the issues center around Bartomeu's time as president.
Other arrests took place as well, including the Chief Executive Officer of the club, Oscar Grau, an advisor to Brtomeu, Jaume Masferrer, and a club lawyer, Roman Gomez Ponti.
"It's an uncomfortable situation but I hope it will finish well," the Manchester City boss said at his press conference.
"He's already innocent until the court proves he is guilty."
In addition, Guardiola revealed that he has high hopes for his former club going forward as Joan Laporta, Victor Font and Toni Freixa vie for the club's presidency in the March 7 election.
"Only I'm concerned is that in one week we'll have a new president," he said. "It's a difficult situation at Barcelona but the new man needs to have the courage to lead in the next years. As many people as possible can vote and lead the best club in the world.
"I'm pretty sure they'll come back stronger. The new president has to lead with confidence and get the fans together and that will make them the club they are. I'm looking forward to the election and, hopefully, the president will be okay."
