Kubala, the first myth
Although the culé temple was inaugurated on 24 September 1957, the two statues are from the current century. The oldest is from the year 2009 and pay homage to Ladislao Kubala. The Hungarian-born footballer defended the Barça between 1950 Y 1962, scoring a total of 194 targets with the blaugrana jacket. He is considered one of the best players in football history., and legends state that the construction of the Camp Nou was eminently justified in his figure.
The player had absolute quality on his feet and was the leader of what is known as the “Barça of the five cups“, what between the years 1951 Y 1952added the League, Spain Cup, the Eva Duarte Cup, the Latin European Cup and the Martini Trophy & Rossi.

His statue is located in a predominant position in the enclosure of the Camp Nou, on the outer esplanade that gives access to the grandstand area. The statue is about two meters high and made of bronze. It was designed by the artist Montserrat Garcia Rivers, constituting a very busy point for tourists and fans. The picture, that shows the player before hitting a ball, was paid for by popular subscription at the initiative of the Barça Veterans Group, made up of athletes who have worn the culé shirt.
The second statue that can be visited in the Barcelona fiefdom is that of Johan Cruyff. This is another figure who left an indelible mark on the club's sporting career. He marks the start of the Barça that we all know, with an incomparable style of play focused on good treatment of the ball. The statue is located on the esplanade of the grandstand of the Camp Nou, also made of bronze, very close to that of Kubala. Cruyff He lived two stages as a Barcelona fan, one as a player, between 1973 Y 1978, and one as a coach between 1988 Y 1996. His greatest success was the achievement of the first European Cup Of the entity, got in 1992.
The figure of the player is accompanied by the phrase “go out and enjoy“, words that he verbalized to his players before the European final to which we referred before. The statue was inaugurated in 2019 and imagined by the Dutch artist Corry Ammerlaan-van Niekerk. His presentation was attended by the children and wife of the legendary player. Another mass pilgrimage point for the Barcelona social mass.
Surely, the next statue to be inaugurated is that of Lionel Messi. It is not necessary to describe the importance of the player in the modern history of the club.. If he finally returns to the culé discipline, that would be a goodbye according to the transcendence of his figure.
