This mural, in Leeds United colours, shows Bielsa in the pose of the 'Christ the Redeemer' statue, which famously towers over Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The piece took a week to paint, after the artist projected the image onto the wall in the middle of the night to get the outline, and then painted the backdrop in his abstract style. The words ‘marchando juntos dos mil veinte’ surround Bielsa – meaning 'Marching on together 2020' in Spanish. Andy McVeigh assisted with the painting of the piece.
