In July 2000, Figo moved from Barcelona to their rivals Real Madrid for €62 million which was a world record fee at the time.[1] This made Barcelona fans angry and they felt that he had betrayed them. When he played his first game back at Camp Nou, Barcelona fans hung banners with words like "Judas" and "traitor", shouted insults and threw objects at him including a pig's head.[2][3]
