This Friday, November 29, 2024, the Gran Teatre del Liceu witnessed the exciting gala celebrating the 125th anniversary of FC Barcelona. In a celebration party full of surprises and memorable events, one of the most emotional moments was led by several of the culés legends, who were present from a distance with a spectacular message of congratulations to the club.
In a video broadcast at the brutal event in homage to the Barça institution, figures such as Andrés Iniesta and Rivaldo remembered the team they love. "For those of us who are from Barça, growing up, living and representing the club is the most wonderful thing that has happened to us," began the man from La Mancha, while the Brazilian assured that "I am very happy to be part of the history of Barça."
Stars from the club's golden age, such as Busquets and Jordi Alba, were also part of the tribute. "I'll remember my debut, not because of the result but because of everything that came after," recalled 'Busi', followed by the legendary left-back, who confessed that "my best memory is when I laid the first stone at the Ciudad Deportiva."
The words of the other Blaugrana legends
Luis Enrique, coach of Barça's last treble, stated that "how time flies for everyone, but Barça remains strong," while David Villa acknowledged that "for me it has been an honour to wear this shirt and defend this badge."
Meanwhile, Neymar Jr. confessed his love for the club by commenting that "I am part of a story that I will always carry in my heart," and Ronaldinho agreed with his compatriot's words with a resounding "I love you, Barça." Finally, Lionel Messi concluded the video by saying that "it is an honour to be part of the club, God took me to that place and to spend my life there. I hope things continue to go well for us."
