Legendary "Barcelona" player and coach Johan Cruyff will once again have to fight with illness.
In 1991, when the Dutchman was working with the Catalan team, he underwent a heart bypass operation.
Now, the 68-year-old football icon has received a doctor's diagnosis - lung cancer.
This information was also confirmed by a representative of the "Barcelona" team.
From a young age, J. Cruyff, who smoked heavily, was reportedly smoking up to 20 cigarettes a day in the last decade of the past century.
It is claimed that later, convinced by doctors and facing health problems, he quit smoking and participated in anti-smoking campaigns.
