Cruyff's death causes Barcelona and Real Madrid put club rivalry to one side

Real Madrid's President Florentino Perez led a Madrid delegation to the Cruyff memorial which opened at Camp Nou on Saturday morning, following the death of the Dutch legend who lost his battle with cancer aged 68.

"There are people who I think should never die, and one of those is Johan Cruyff,' stated Perez, having spent a minute in silence reflecting before a picture of Cruyff at the Camp Nou.

"I knew him throughout his sporting life and some say he changed the history of Barcelona, I believe that he also changed the history of football, not just in Spain but around the world.

"My sentiments are with his family and all the Barcelona fans for their loss, but he is someone who will live forever."

The whole world is mourning the death of the star, and his impact on the world of football is so great, that in his mourning, even the biggest of enemies have put everything to one side to pay their respects.
