Earlier this week, a legend left us.
A great of the football world, Johan Cruyff made a lasting imprint on football, giving us the beautiful game as we know it today – total football.
So it was fitting that the stage to honour the late Dutch great was the grandest of all stages: El Clasico at the Camp Nou, really now the unofficial home of total football. With relatives and Barcelona royalty in the crowd, fans unveiled a breathtaking tribute, spanning almost every single seat of the grand stadium.
