The Barcelona squad will pay tribute to their former manager with a special message on their shirts this weekend

Last week, the world of football was united in its grief after the sad news of the passing of Tito Vilanova, the former Barcelona player and manager.

At just 45, Tito had achieved an incredible amount in his short spell in charge of the club, and it was clear that the players and everyone connected to Barcelona were affected by his passing. This weekend in their match against Getafe, they will mark the event with a special message that will be stitched into their shirt.
