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.
