Barcelona reveal five Clasico tributes in honour of Johan Cruyff
FC Barcelona held a meeting on Tuesday to decide what acts will take place during Saturday's Clasico against Real Madrid to pay homage to Johan Cruyff, who died of lung cancer last week.
The five acts are...
1.- A mosaic formed by the 90,000 fans inside Camp Nou carrying the words 'Gracies, Johan'.
2.- The words 'Gracies, Johan' will replace the World Club champions badge on the front fof the Barcelona players' shirts.
3.- Children wearing T-shirts with the words 'Gracies, Johan' will accompany Barça's and Madrid's players on to the pitch at the beginning of the game. The logo of the Cruyff Foundation will feature on the back of the T-shirts.
4.- The presence of all eight past and present Barcelona presidents who are still alive: Agustí Montal, Raimon Carrasco, Josep Lluís Núñez, Joan Gaspart, Enric Reyna, Joan Laporta, Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu.
5.- A commemorative video honouring Cruyff's life will be shown on the big screens at Camp Nou.
The board's spokesman, Josep Vives, said that they hadn't spoke about longer-term tributes in the meeting. "That's for further down the line, to be taken with consideration, reflection and in agreement with the family," he said.
