Barcelona president Joan Laporta has again stated Lionel Messi's departure was made for the good of the club.
At the Nou Camp on Monday morning, Laporta again addressed fans whom remain angry over Messi's departure for PSG.
Discussing the previous board, he insisted: "All of this is the consequence of a 'modus operandi' that bypassed internal controls.
"With Messi's departure, the club has been shown to be above everything. We are eternally grateful to Leo, it was a long love affair between him and Barca.
"We have advanced the post-Messi era by two years. Seeing him at PSG brings mixed feelings for everyone at Barca, but we made the right decision, not to put the club at more risk."
