Photos – Larsson outshines Barcelona stars at training

“Larsson having fun at training,” the official FC Barcelona account tweeted alongside these four photographs showing the Celtic legend showing the current crop of Barca stars how its done. And doesn’t he look fantastic in these photos?

“Better than Busquets?” asks one Barca fan. “Play him as no.9,” demands another.

“At the rate of injuries that we will soon see him play as a starter,” says another. “Baller,” another guy adds. “He can still outscore and finish better than our forwards,” says another.

“Best player on the pitch,” says another Barcelona fan. “King Henrik!” adds another supporter. “Make him coach,” says another (think he means make him the Barcelona manager).

“Legend,” next one “God I love that man” then “ForcaBarca”.

Incidentally in the summer when Damien Duff decided to return to Dublin, we argued that Celtic should replace him as the first team coach with Henrik Larsson. Instead we got Gavin Strachan.

Celtic’s loss looks like being Barcelona’s gain but on the other hand if their players can’t get the ball off the King of Kings, what chance would ours have!
