Barcelona will pay further tribute to club legend Johan Cruyff by wearing a shirt with the inscription Gràcies Johan on their shirts for Saturday's clasico against Real Madrid.
A mosaic with the same slogan will also be displayed by supporters across all four sides of Camp Nou before kick-off, while a minute’s silence and a video of Cruyff’s best moments will be played prior to the La Liga fixture.
Cruyff, a three time world player of the year and pioneer of Total Football, died last week at the age of 68 having been diagnosed with lung cancer in October.
Barca lead third-placed Real by 10 points in the league and could extend their unbeaten run to 40 games. Atletico are second, nine points behind Luis Enrique’s team, and travel to Camp Nou on Tuesday for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
