Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano has described the immense sorrow he felt at his former coach’s passing and is hoping to honour his memory with a Liga triumph.
He says his team-mates will fight for the Liga title in the memory of former coach Tito Vilanova.
The 45-year-old passed away on Friday following a lengthy battle with cancer and the Catalan side came from behind to beat Villarreal 3-2 on Sunday thanks to a late Lionel Messi winner.
The Argentine says that his old boss instilled a brilliant spirit in the team’s players and is hoping to honour his memory in the grand manner this season.
