Football fans packed FNB Stadium in Johannesburg for the Nelson Mandela Centenary Cup where they lost 3-1 to Spanish giants FC Barcelona.

Patrice Motsepe's Brazilians were beaten 3-1 by the swashbuckling Spanish giants.

Though Sundowns lost the high-profile international club friendly match‚ some of the fans that TimesLIVE spoke to after the match were not too disappointed by the way Pitso Mosimane’s men performed.

South African soccer fans came together on May 17 2018 to watch a friendly match between FC Barcelona and Mamelodi Sundowns. The match was organised as a celebration of Nelson Mandela’s centenary. Subscribe to TimesLIVE here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TimesLive
