FC Barcelona or Futbol Club Barcelona commonly referred to as Barcelona and simply as Barca, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona competes in La Liga. It is the top flight of Spanish football.
The club was founded in 1899. A group of Swiss, Spanish, German, and English footballers founded the club. They were led by Joan Gamper. FCB has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism. Hence, the motto of the club is ‘Mes Que un club’. It means ‘More than a club‘. Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.
The official Barcelona anthem is the ‘Cant del Barca’. The song was written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinas. Barcelona traditionally plays in dark shades of blue and red stripes. Hence, they are nicknamed the Blaugrana.
Moreover, the club has a long-standing rivalry with Real Madrid. The matches played between the two teams are referred to as El Classico.
