Figo s memory was thrown 🐷: I didn t worry about my personal safety, I just came to play football and was not afraid

As we all know, Figo has a love, hate and affection with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Recently, in an interview, the Portuguese superstar recalled the classic fateful showdown in the 2005 National Derby. From pig heads to glass bottles and even mobile phones, these items thrown into the field have become an indelible part of that history.

■Recalling the scene at the time Figo recalled: "I have never been worried about my personal safety. But I have always been worried about some off-court events. After all, I was just here to play football, which is not afraid. But in that case, there are always some unpredictable things. I just want to do my best to complete the work. Unfortunately, these scenes are not what a stadium should look like."

■Before joining Real Madrid, Figo was deeply loved by Barcelona fans, and he also responded to this relationship affectionately at the Barcelona championship celebration. The most widely circulated one was when he stood on the balcony of the Catalan government building and led the fans to shout a controversial slogan: "Man in white, crying, congratulate the champion!"

In response, Figo responded lightly to this episode: "That slogan is actually just a joke. We won the league championship that year, and that season Real Madrid always said that we were favored. It was just a small interesting thing... Later I remembered. Everyone has different views on it, and some people are making big fuss, whether it is good or bad. But it is actually a small episode."

■ The jerseys I wore in my career: "I especially like some jerseys. For example, the Barcelona century-old jersey is very special, and Real Madrid century-old jersey is also very beautiful. After all, it is a very memorable year. Inter Milan's blue and black color scheme is also very classic, and Portugal Sports' green is also very beautiful. Every year I like the jerseys I wear. It happens that I also wore the century-old jerseys of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan respectively."

On July 24, 2000, Figo transferred from Barcelona to Real Madrid and officially debuted. It has been 25 years since then. Real Madrid paid Figo's liquidated damages of 10 billion pesetta that year, which is about 60 million euros at the current exchange rate. This transfer not only set a new transfer record in the world football world at that time, but also became the most sensational signing deal between the "Real Madrid-Barca" pair of its old rivals.
