White Treason

When Figo returned to Barcelona for the first time in a Real Madrid shirt on October 21st, 2000, the noise at Camp Nou was deafening. There were banners hung around the stadium with words like "Traitor", "Judas", "Scum", and "Mercenary".

The decibel level reached 112, equivalent to a plane taking off. And the insults - and objects - rained down on Figo, particularly if he got near the edges of the pitch. And the Barza 2-0 win was decorated with an oustanding marking of Carles Puyol over Figo.
