Barcelona's 125th anniversary gala was attended by over 2,000, including former stars and politicians, but the current team left early to prepare for a match.
While Barcelona celebrated their rich history, their opponents Las Palmas, with their long journey from Gran Canaria, prepared for their match, highlighting the contrast in their narratives.
The gala served as a reflection on Barcelona's evolution since its founding in 1899, yet it also underscored the immediate focus of football as a competitive sport.
Despite the grand celebrations, with five presidents and a notable performance, the reality of a match the next day overshadowed the festivities.
