At the Palau Blaugrana, the Barça-Olympiacos crowd was surprised to see a very special visitor: Pep Guardiola. The fans began chanting his name in the second quarter, and the former player was forced to get up, smiling and greeting the fans with his arms raised and kisses in the air.
The meeting, which was held in the packed pavilion, was attended by other former players of the club, including Jan Vesely. The Czech center, who left Barça at the end of last season due to knee problems, did not want to miss the exciting Euroleague match against the Greek champion.
Vesely, legendary in European basketball, finished his career with 414 games in the Euroleague, becoming the player with the most two-point baskets (1,701) and occupying the first places in several statistical categories. During the match, the former player spoke with Movistar, describing his current life as “incredible”, enjoying free time with his family and the peace of mind of not traveling so much, although he misses the competition.
The match was a spectacle for both players and fans, and Guardiola's appearance added a touch of history and excitement to the match. With the end of the game, the Palau was full of memories and the fans took home a unique moment that they will remember for a long time.
