Twenty years since Bobby Robson’s Barcelona beat PSG in the Cup Winners' Cup Final, Guillem Balague meets with Bobby’s son Mark

Twenty years since Bobby Robson's Barcelona beat PSG in the Cup Winners' Cup Final, Guillem Balague meets with Bobby's son Mark to look back on the memories.

Sir Bobby's one season at the Nou Camp yielded three trophies, the third coming against PSG in the Cup Winners' Cup final in Rotterdam against PSG, where a certain Ronaldo scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot.

Barca finished second in La Liga that season, two points behind champions Real Madrid, while Robson also led his side to a Spanish Super Cup victory in August.

Balague and Sir Bobby's son Mark run through Barcelona's star-studded side of 1996/97, including Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Hristo Stoichkov and Pep Guardiola.

The 1997/98 season saw Robson moved "upstairs" to the position of General Manager by Barcelona, with Louis van Gaal taking over the managerial reins, but he stayed in this position for only one season before returning to manage PSV for a second stint and then Newcastle in 1999.
