FC Barcelona is among the greatest teams in the Champions League, La Liga, and Copa del Rey. Joan Gamper, a Swiss man, created this team and decided to introduce football to Barcelona by setting up a team. The club was officially founded on 29th November 1899. Barcelona is a city on the northeastern coast of Spain, serving as the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Catalonia where they speak Spanish and Catalan. They struggle during the first years due to economic instability. Later on, at the beginning of the Civil War in 1936, FC Barcelona faced the threat of being absorbed by elements of the anarchist forces.
The team formation in the following years led to more promising title victories in the 1950s. For many people, Barça’s matches at Les Corts represented freedom during years of fear, misery, and repression after the war. Later FC Barcelona changed significantly; they formed a new team with a new manager. They managed to secure four consecutive Spanish League championships between 1990 and 1994, putting them in a very high position among the other clubs. Since the 1990s FC Barcelona start having a massive presence in tournaments. Usually, the team stayed among the top 5 in every tournament they participated in during the 1990s-2000s.
But during the year 2004, the greatest player of their time arrived. Lionel Messi is one of the most promising players of all time. With his arrival the team changed, they got someone who could pass through 5 defenders and score like nothing. Later on, the dream team arrived at FC Barcelo, some players were Lionel Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Puyol, Pique, and more. They had a great impact on the soccer world. But usually, every team has their rival and FC Barcelona doesn’t stay behind. Their major rival is Real Madrid, they have been rivals nearly since they were created. They even have a name for their matches called “El Classico”. This is mostly played at the stadium Bernabeu. Right now Real Madrid is leading the Clasico by 105 matches, FC Barcelona with 101 matches and 52 draws.
Nowadays the club has changed drastically. They have new formations, and a new style that is way different compared to the old one, and there are some new promises for FC Barcelona such as Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Pau Cubarsí. Currently, the team is in the lead in La Liga with a record of 19 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses. Barcelona has qualified for the quarterfinals of the Champions League. They are considered among the top 8 teams in Europe. There is a high probability of FC Barcellona winning the championship. But we will see if they are going back and start winning more matches or is just for a moment.
