Barcelona players continued their heartfelt tribute to their former coach, Tito Vilanova, during their first match at Camp Nou since his passing. In their clash against Getafe (2-2) on Saturday, the players donned jerseys with a message inscribed in Catalan: “Tito, forever eternal.” The club had previously announced that it would be “a farewell gesture shared between the first team players and the public.”
Before kick-off, a tribute video was broadcasted, evoking emotional responses from the fans who applauded loudly. The Camp Nou crowd then unveiled a “tifo” – a large banner or mosaic – bearing the image of the late coach during the Barça anthem, followed by a poignant minute of silence.
