Pau Gasol landed in Barcelona again after 20 years and the basketball world saved a warm welcome for the Spanish legend upon the news of his signing!
From EuroLeague players and teams, to fans, everyone is just as excited to see Gasol return to action with the Blaugranas.
Starting off with teammate Nikola Mirotic, who posted a video greeting his “brother”!
