Barcelona fans paid tribute to the late Johan Cruyff before Saturday's El Clasico against Real Madrid at Camp Nou.

Cruyff died of lung cancer on March 24 at the age of 68. He was diagnosed with the cancer in October.

A three-time Ballon d’Or winner, Cruyff won three straight European Cups with Ajax, while also playing for the Dutch national team and Barcelona. He retired from soccer in 1978 and later managed Barcelona to its first European Cup victory in 1992.

Watch the fans create a stadium-wide tifo of a No. 14 Barcelona jersey with "Gracies Johan" spelled out.
