‘A great honour’ – Real Madrid send anniversary message to Barcelona | OneFootball

Real Madrid have on Friday moved to reveal their appreciation for the club’s arch rivals, Barcelona.

This, of course, comes on a special day for all associated with the Blaugrana.

November 29th marks the 125th anniversary of Barcelona’s existence as a sporting entity.

A lavish gala is in turn currently taking place in Catalunya’s capital, with a whole host of the most iconic figures from the club’s storied history in attendance.

Messages of congratulations, meanwhile, have come pouring in over the course of the day, from high-profile players and clubs across the world of football.

And, as alluded to above, a short time ago, the most head-turning of all was forthcoming.

In a post across their social media platforms, Barcelona’s most historic rivals, Real Madrid, unveiled the following heartfelt message:

‘Congratulations on your 125th anniversary, FC Barcelona. It is an honour for Real Madrid to compete with a great rival like you throughout our history.’
