25-year title anniversary tribute

Pau Ramírez

Camp Nou paid homage to the team that won the league title 25 years ago before the start of the Osasuna match on Wednesday evening.

The team captain from the triumphant 1984/85 side was Vicente ‘Tente’ Sánchez and he was proud to lead out the players once more at the home of FC Barcelona. The squad lined up in a familiar pose for photographers before being given a rapturous reception by the supporters.

Urruti we love you

On March 24, 1985, Barça beat Real Valladolid 1-2 to become the champions with four games of the season remaining. The campaign will be remembered for goalkeeper Javier Urruticoechea’s penalty save in that title-clinching encounter shortly before the end.

Lunch time

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of that championship win the club invited the players to the game. After having lunch in the Sala Roma in Camp Nou the players enjoyed a day together before heading out on to the pitch once more.
