FC Barcelona vs. Brazil in 1999 - The Full Match
The beginning of the week is never enjoyable, but let’s lessen the dosage of suffering with a glorious find on Youtube. 1999 was FC Barcelona’s centenary year and the whole season was quite the celebration of everything FC Barcelona. The highlight of the season (apart from winning the league title) was a friendly match on the 28th of April against the boys from Brazil who finished 2nd in the 1998 World Cup.
Ronaldo (the original) and Romario were making their return to the Camp Nou, but all eyes were on FC Barcelona maestro Rivaldo. Before the game, Rivaldo said he was happy to wear the Blaugrana jersey, but country won over club and Rivaldo played for his homeland. Legends were aplenty, as Figo (before the Real Madrid transfer) put on a show. Pep Guardiola started the match, but was subbed off at half time. Who subbed him off? Well, a certain young Catalan midfielder named Xavi. The match ended 2-2, and it was a real spectacle for all involved. (Full line-ups listed in the description of the video)

The Return of Arsenal’s King
“It was like a dream when he scored. It was the story you would tell a kid. It is not often like that in our game.” - Arsene Wenger
It’s hard to add to Arsene’s description of Thierry Henry’s return to the Emirates. Numbers change, but it only took 10 minutes for the Thierry wearing the #12 to establish himself amongst Gooners as the same man that led Arsenal to so much glory in the past with a match-winner against Leeds United. It’s only a short loan spell, but tonight was special, and not just for fans of the Arsenal.
the King is back
