Figo more, he said he wants to build a team of superstars…and Figo was going to be the first. He said Figo should forget about the 30m, he should just come to Real Madrid, they were going to win everything.
Gaspert had also won the Barcelona presidential election. He said Figo called him at midnight and told him that he had two tickets from Lisbon, one to Barcelona and one to Real Madrid (don’t forget players were on holiday, it was summer, that’s the reason Figo was in Lisbon).
Figo told him to pledge on improving his contract, gave him a specific amount, something around this, but Gaspert said he can’t do such, and it’s even midnight (Figo denied saying that).
Figo then flew to Real Madrid next day to sign, the football world went crazy. Please watch the day Figo was unveiled as a Real Madrid player. He wasn’t even happy, he didn’t want to go, but he said Perez showed him that he had value, and Barcelona hierarchy were messing with him.
The video of Figo at Camp Nou is one of the most circulated video of betrayal in the football world. Barca hosted Madrid in a la Liga match. 100,000 people filled up Camp Nou, and it was against Luis Figo not even against Madrid.
They chanted all through the game. In fact, when Figo got off the bus, about 10 policemen had to guard him because the crowd were ready to burn him.
They made chants about his girlfriend being a whor£, they attacked his family, they printed notes of money with his face on it to show that he chose money, they labelled him a traitor. He had never seen such hate in his life. Till date, I don’t think any player has experienced such hate in their life by a fanbase.
Figo couldn’t take corner kicks, police men were on corner flags because the fans were throwing things, it was madness. Barcelona ended up winning that game again😭
Fast forward, Gaspert ended up being arguably the worst president in Barcelona’s history, because after Figo left, Barcelona went trophyless for about 5 years and Real Madrid were winning. In fact, Figo won the league in his first season at Madrid, won the champions league the next season, he won everything in that 5 years at Real Madrid.
He still lives in Madrid till date and says he does not regret leaving, and he didn’t leave to hurt the fans.
Crazy football stories for days mehn.
1. My son, currently in 400 Level Medicine and Surgery scored 333 in JAMB but his name did not even APPEAR on the Admission List. I was later told by the Institution that, my son could be offered Micro Biology. I told the Registrar of the institution POINT BLANK that, "I have spent HUGELY (Several Millions of Naira) to get my Son to this Point of Entry (PoE) to become a Medical Doctor and not to become a Biology Teacher through her offer of Micro Biology. This Registrar was so MEAN. She simply told me, we are very sorry, Micro Biology is the BEST we can OFFER your son.
2. At this Juncture, I proceeded to JAMB Headquarters, Abuja to meet with Prof. Oloyede who swiftly asked for my son's JAMB details, punched these details into his laptop and everything concerning the university came up on his screen.
3. Prof. Oloyede said and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, please go back home and sleep with your two eyes closed. From what I am seeing on my screen, your son is No.3 on the List of Medicine and Surgery of this institution with a JAMB SCORE of 333 which comes behind two other JAMB scores of 348 & 334 respectively. Unfortunately, none of these chaps, including your Son (i.e JAMB Score 348, 334 and 333) made the Admission List"
4. Prof. Oloyede continued and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, in SANE countries, this Institution should have sent the College Driver with an official vehicle to go and fetch your son from Ekiti to campus having projected himself into the MERIT LIST of this Institution but unfortunately, the endemic corruption in these institutions will just not allow them to follow Due Process"
5. Right in my presence, Prof. Oloyede put a call through to the Vice Chancellor of this Institution, setting his phone on speaker and spoke angrily at the Vice Chancellor, lamenting on the endemic corruption under his nose as it concerns university admission. This Vice Chancellor apologized to Prof. Oloyede saying what has just happened must have been an ERROR of OVERSIGHT on the part of his Management Team & promised Prof. Oloyede that he will personally ensure the Error of Oversight is corrected.
6. Within 24 hrs of that conversation between Prof. Oloyede and the Vice Chancellor, my son checked the university's Admission Portal and discovered his name has been INCLUDED as Number Three on the admission list while the names of the other chaps that scored 348 & 334 also appeared on the admission list as Number One and Number Two respectively.
7. The good news in all of these is that, my son that would have been CRIMINALLY denied admission ab-initio now TOPS his class with a G.P.A of 4.85
This is neither Federal nor State government doing... Every sector of the economy in Nigeria is corrupt.

@GoalVersee It's funny how people compare performance over two legs against maybe two EPL teams , to consistent intense performance demands 38times against 18teams
So laughable
