The match in Tokyo in December is only one of several exhibitions that let supporters all around the world re-connect with Barcelona’s legendary players and honour the team’s history.
Barca’s squad will also include Xavi, who just left as the team’s head coach, which will further heighten the excitement. He joins Marquez and Mascherano, who are each making their first appearance in a Legends match since retiring.
Due to their distinguished playing careers for Barcelona, these players bring special legacies to the field. Some of Real Madrid’s most renowned players from the “Galacticos” era will be included in the Legends squad.
