Football Legends Figo, Puyol, Morientes And Quaresma To Star In Legends Faceoff In Mumbai

The Sports Front, a pioneering force in global sports entertainment, is set to make history by bringing one of football's greatest rivalries to Indian soil. On April 6, 2025, at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, legends of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will reignite their iconic battle in Legends Faceoff - an electrifying spectacle featuring some of the most celebrated names in world football. Among the football greats confirmed for this highly anticipated showdown are Luis Figo, Carles Puyol, Fernando Morientes, and Ricardo Quaresma, each a legend in their own right.

Luis Figo, a Ballon d'Or winner (2000) and a key figure in Portuguese football history, played for both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, winning multiple La Liga titles and the 2002 UEFA Champions League with Los Blancos.

Carles Puyol, a defensive powerhouse for FC Barcelona and Spain, captained Barca to six La Liga titles and three UEFA Champions League trophies, while also playing a crucial role in Spain's 2010 FIFA World Cup triumph and UEFA Euro 2008 victory.

Fernando Morientes, a prolific goal-scorer, was instrumental in Real Madrid's dominance, securing three UEFA Champions League titles (1998, 2000, 2002) and representing Spain in two FIFA World Cups (1998, 2002) and UEFA Euro 2004.

The former FC Barcelona and FC Porto winger also won league titles in Portugal and Turkey, along with the UEFA Europa League with Porto (2011), cementing his reputation as one of the game's most skilful wingers.
