📖 Club History
FC Barcelona was founded in 1899 by Swiss businessman Joan Gamper and has become one of the most recognised sports clubs in the world. "Més que un club" (More than a club) reflects their deep connection to Catalan identity. Johan Cruyff's influence as player and manager defined the club's "tiki-taka" DNA. The Pep Guardiola era (2008–2012) produced arguably the greatest club side ever, winning six trophies in one year. Lionel Messi's 17-year association, during which he scored 672 goals, makes him the greatest player in the club's history.
