FC Barcelona, ​​often referred to simply as “Barça”, is one of the most famous and successful football clubs in the world. The club was founded in 1899 in Barcelona, ​​Spain, and is known for its motto: “Més que un club” – which means “More than a club”. Barça plays its home games at the iconic Camp Nou stadium, which for many years was the largest stadium in Europe.

Barcelona has a rich history of trophies, including numerous Spanish La Liga titles, Copa del Rey trophies and multiple UEFA Champions League titles. Great players such as Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Johan Cruyff and many more have worn the Barça shirt.

The club is known for its attacking style of play, often based on possession and short combinations, something that was executed to perfection under coach Pep Guardiola (2008–2012). The youth academy, La Masia, has also built a great reputation for developing top talent.

Barça have a fierce rivalry with Real Madrid, and the matches between these two giants are known as El Clásico – perhaps the most watched club matches in the world.
