So, so awkward. Eight years have now passed since that moment and it still makes for painful viewing.

Speaking in 2017, the Frenchman said lifting the trophy was the best moment of his Barca career.

"The best memory I have here is when I lifted the league trophy with Tito [Vilanova]," he said, per Marca.

"Also, in the last match I played here I was able to bring my cousin [who donated part of his liver to help the player's recovery] out to the middle of the pitch and he deserved it.

"I managed to get a lot of people to applaud him and I think that represents what Barcelona is all about."

We're only guessing, but it's probably not the best moment of Song's Barcelona career...
