This Sunday a friendly match was played in the legends of Barcelona and the legends of Girona to support the Miquel Valls Foundation, which helps people suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). And this meeting had a Mexican presence, because Rafael Márquez dressed as a short to represent the culé team.

Almost 12 Years after his last official match as a Barcelona Football Club player, “El Kaiser” was selected as one of the legends of the Catalan team for this match, being one of the eleven starters.

This is how Barcelona formed in this match for a beautiful cause: Angoy, Tortolero, Rafa Márquez, Juan Carlos, Amor, Mendieta, Sergi Barjuan, Goikoetxea, Jofre Mateu, Luis García and Saviola.

This is how the great Mexican Kaiser looked. 42 years old and ready to play.
