Legends of Barcelona beat legends of Real Madrid 3-2 in Lebanon

Xinhua, April 28, 2017 Adjust font size:

The legends of Barcelona beat legends of Real Madrid 3-2 here on Friday in a game called the "Classico of Legends".

In front of over 30,000 audiences at the Cite Sportive in Beirut, 36 former Barcelona and Real Madrid players entertained their oversea fans in Lebanon.

"What a coincidence that the result was the same as the original classico that was played last Sunday when Barcelona won 3-2 against Real," said Ahmad Bleik, a Lebanese supporter of the Catalonian team.

Bleik was particularly enthusiastic to see Ronaldinho, once the world best player, in Lebanon.

He added "he did not disappoint us, he made the three assists that enabled Barcelona to win".

A following "meet and greet" section after the game allowed a limited number of people to meet the players, having autographs and taking pictures. Endit
