“In these incredibly painful times for Vilanova’s family, which are also difficult for all those of Barça, all of us who shared the dressing room with Tito are profoundly touched by everything he gave us, whether personal or professional. Personally I will always carry inside of me the things he shared and lived with me, I can never forget him. For me, Tito is eternal.”

“Tito, thank you for everything you gave football and Barça. All us culés are externally grateful.
Personally, I met him at 14 years old and I can say there are very few people like you. Thank you for always believing in me, to help me improve and overcome obstacles both professional and personal.
All my condolence to Montse, Carlota and Adriá and the rest of his family and friends.
We will always keep you in our hearts. Rest in peace Tito.”
