Futbol Club Barcelona

Barcelona is the most successful club in Spain alongside Real Madrid and one of the most popular in the world. Its playing style based on ball touch and possession, known as tiki-taka, revolutionized modern football.

History

Founded in 1899 by Swiss Joan Gamper, Barcelona is more than a club, being a symbol of Catalan identity. In the 1990s and 2000s, Johan Cruyff's Dream Team established the foundations of modern football. Under Pep Guardiola between 2008 and 2012, Barcelona experienced the best phase of its history, winning La Liga, Champions League and the Club World Cup in historic sequences. The era of Lionel Messi, which lasted two decades, produced records and titles that will hardly be surpassed.
