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.
