This Wednesday 24 March 2021 fulfil five years of the death of one of the greater legends of the history of the football and of the FC Barcelona. On 24 March 2016 it died Johan Cruyff by fault of a cancer of lung that had from the 2015. The Dutch changed the history of the Barça and gave beginning to the new style of touch and possession that has implemented in the club from his arrival.

To commemorate this third anniversary by his demise, the Barcelona has published a photography in Twitter homenajeando to Cruyff with a photo in black and white with the blue colours and grana of the group barcelonista. Besides, also they went up a video with the legendary so much of the Dutch in front of the Athletic of Madrid launching in iron to in front and finishing with a species of taconazo.

And it is that Cruyff does not deserve less, since it is one of the big figures of the history of this sport. The ex Barcelona no only is a myth in the Camp Nou, but it also is one of the best players of the history. For many is to the height of Peeled them, Diego Armando Maradona, Alfredo Gave Stéfano or Leo Messi. Greater words that leave clear the impact and the level that had Johan like footballer.

The one of Ámsterdam arrived to the Barcelona in the 1973 and during his first campaign there was able to win the League and to marvel to the fans of the Barça, starring gestas epics like the goleada to the Real Madrid by 0-5 in Santiago Bernabéu in February of 1974. In the two following campaigns the Barça did not attain to win any title, although Johan Cruyff continued shining to a level estratosférico.

The Dutch won the Balloon of Bronze in 1975, and in his last season in the club, the 1977-78, achieved to conquer with the Barça the Glass of Rey. That was his farewell of the Camp Nou like player, but years afterwards would return like trainer to build the 'Dream Team' and win the first Glass of Europe of the history of the club in the 1992. A historical fact that marked a before and an afterwards for the Barça.

The legacy of Cruyff follows alive in the Barça

But further of his successes and of the importance to win at last a Champions, the most important that left Cruyff was his legacy. The ex of the Ajax achieved to implement a style of game in the group blaugrana that did strong and that has kept along the time. Now, Ronald Koeman tries to give back to the culés to this way while Johan, perhaps, smiles from where was seeing that the Barcelona at last goes back to the senda that he marked.
