Barcelona's players will hold a celebration with the fans at the Camp Nou in the moments before Saturday's match against Villarreal to exhibit the six titles they won over the course of 2009 – the Champions League, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish and European Supercups, and the Club World Cup.

As such, in a gesture of recognition and appreciation for their services, Barcelona has extended invitations to Inter's Samuel Eto'o along with Eidur Gudjohnsen, Sylvinho, and Jorquera to join them on the pitch before the match and celebrate the unprecedented feat with the fans.

After the close of a historic year in Catalunya, the celebration will serve as a way of recognizing the work that the entire Barca organization has put in to achieve such successes, and will close the book on a year that according to coach Pep Guardiola himself, cannot be repeated.
