He saw Barcelona win everything with Messi and Guardiola, now he loses his life
May one of the most fanatical men of Barcelona in the last era rest in peace.
Football and the entire world are in mourning today, because a man who supported FC Barcelona more than anyone else has died. A man who gave and dedicated his life to one thing, supporting his love club wherever he went.
This is exactly Joan Casals, the most famous fan of FC Barcelona, who at 90 years old, was known as the grandfather of Barcelona. The Catalan club shared a message on its social media, dedicating a few words to him: "FC Barcelona wants to show its condolences for the death of Joan Casals, known as the Avi of Barça. Rest in peace"
"Joan Casals rest in peace. Today Barça is in mourning. A beautiful person and an unconditional culé. All of our support to the family. Eternal Grandfather of Barça," expressed the Catalan club in an official statement, which was filled with responses from love and affection.
Why was his name the grandfather of Barcelona?
Apparently everything happened 40 years ago in a friendly match between FC Barcelona and Boca Juniors, where Joan Casals went to the stadium with a classic team shirt and a Catalan hat called a barretina. This, in addition to his white beard that already gave him the appearance of a grandfather, is what this fan was called.
