Football nostalgia came alive in Abuja as Barcelona Legends triumphed 3–1 over African Legends in a thrilling exhibition match that drew thousands of fans to the MKO Abiola Stadium on Saturday. The star-studded showdown featured some of the greatest names to ever grace world football. For the African Legends, icons like Austin ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Obafemi Martins, Emmanuel Adebayor, and El Hadji Diouf brought their trademark flair and charisma to the pitch — much to the delight of Nigerian fans. Representing Barcelona Legends were celebrated veterans including Gaizka Mendieta, Javier Saviola, Christanval, Fernando Navarro, Trashorras, and Haruna Babangida — the Nigerian-born winger who once donned the famous Blaugrana colors. The Spanish giants rolled back the years with dazzling passing sequences and clinical finishing, securing a 3–1 victory. Despite flashes of brilliance from Okocha and Adebayor, the African Legends couldn’t contain Barcelona’s attacking flow.
