Luis Figo will play Clasico 'Legends' game for Madrid vs. Barcelona
The Portuguese midfielder generated a lot of controversy when he left Barça in 200'
Barcelona recently announced a 'Legends' game against Real Madrid on July 20 in Tel Aviv (Israel).
The Barça side will be led by players including Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Deco for what is hopes will be a very special Clasico.
According to Onze on Esport3, Luis Figo will also be involved and, for the second time since he retired, come up against Barça.
That adds some spice to the fixture, given the first time he faced Barça was in an Inter shirt, not a Madrid one.
The ex-Portugal international had other opportunities to play against Barça, but always rejected them. This time he said yes.
Figo caused controversy in 2000 when he swapped Barça for Madrid and he's always been a persona non grata in the Catalan capital since.
Remember that a pig's head was famously thrown at him at Camp Nou as he took a corner for Madrid in a Clasico fixture.
For this month's game in Israel, Barça president Joan Laporta will also be present, taking advantage of the game to deal with some club business in the region.
