FC Barcelona’s vice-president of Marketing and Communication, Manel Arroyo was quoted as saying by the club website:“Qatar Airways has helped us to make Barça bigger in recent years. The success that has accompanied the Club has partly been their work. It is a pleasure to be able to work together for another season and we hope to continue along the same lines of mutual growth.”
