Overview
Barcelona is one of football's defining clubs, famous for a possession-based style that has shaped the modern game. Based in Catalonia, Barça plays in its iconic blaugrana colors and carries the motto "més que un club" — more than a club — into every European night. The club's academy, La Masia, has produced generations of world-class talent, and Barcelona's Champions League campaigns are always must-watch television for fans of attacking football.
History & Legacy
Founded in 1899, Barcelona claimed its first European Cup in 1992 at Wembley under Johan Cruyff's Dream Team. The club's golden era arrived under Pep Guardiola, whose Barcelona side won the Champions League in 2009 as part of a historic treble, then added titles in 2011 and 2015 behind the peak of Lionel Messi. Five European Cup/Champions League titles have made Barcelona one of the most successful and influential clubs in the competition's history.
