My Take
Carles Rexach is Barcelona woven into a single life. Forty-four years at one club as winger, then coach, is a kind of loyalty that barely exists in modern football. But the detail I can't get past is his role in signing a 13-year-old Lionel Messi, famously sealed on a paper napkin when others hesitated. That single act of conviction arguably reshaped the sport. I admire that he trusted his eye when the stakes were enormous and the kid was tiny. A skillful winger in his own playing days, Rexach's real legacy may be the futures he saw before anyone else did.
