Thousands attend Barca tribute to honor mercurial Cruyff

"It was Johan Cruyff who made us champions," wept lifelong Barcelona fan Jose Cortina, a retired printer who joined thousands of fans in paying tribute to the Barca legend at Camp Nou on Saturday.

Cruyff, who moved to Barcelona from Ajax Amsterdam in 1973, died last week in his adopted city after a five-month battle with lung cancer.

He was 68.
