RIP Tito

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

This was amazing thinking back. A historic moment in the club's history.

All Barcelona prospects?

Oh, Alba ain't one..

 

[Alik]

This was amazing thinking back. A historic moment in the club's history.

Amazing indeed. And, apart from Montoya, all those players were among the best in the world.

Unforgettable. World class team as well.

Jordi Roura gave an interview yesterday where he told that a few days before dying Tito asked Messi to visit him because Leo was thinking about leaving the club after the loss in CL to Atletico and Spanish Cup final loss to Madrid in the same week.
Tito talked to Leo for 2 hours and convinced him to stay. This happened on April 19th. Tito passed away in April 25th.

ِYes, all of the including Alba were Barca prospects
The amount of years they played in La Masia is mentioned along each youth team they started in

What happened to him was unbelievably tragic

 

[Catta]

Damn, it's already seven years since he passed. Time flies.

 

[Messi983]

7 years without Tito, can't believe how fast time flies...

Just realised that his son is a starting CB for fc Andorra (Pique's own club) and was a starter last year when they acheved promotion.
Not a bad career for him tbh, many of footballers sons fail to achieve anything tbh.

Had not seen him since his father's funeral. Impressive he's kept his spot in the starting XI since Primera Catalana.
