"This is an act loaded with symbolism for us," said Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu as the first brick of the Johan Cruyff Stadium was placed. "We've chosen to do this today because the 14 and 9 (September 14) were numbers linked with the life of Johan Cruyff. Players from La Masia can return again to seeing the stadium wehre their dreams should grow out of the window."
The objective is to create a stadium for 6,000 fans, which will cost 12m euros and be opened in 14 months. Various attendees to the event put objects in a mamory box which symbolises the first brick being placed.
