The amount of shit that got spoken about Mascherano over the years and spent arguing about it were all worth it.
Absolute legend and one of my favourite Barca players ever.
So no more one last game and standing ovation for him? I was the fans at Camp Nou would give him a tribute and give a standing ovation for his last game against Espanyol.
I have to say, that after seeing him play for the first time as a Barca player against Hercules (Barca losing 0-2 at home), I didn't expect him to have such a legendary career here. He was struggling to fit in and frankly didn't look like a Barca player. But then came some injuries and he started to boss it as a CB. Those countless sliding tackles and the endless fighting spirit truly made him one of my favorites over the years. And who could forget that tackle on Bendtner...
