FC Barcelona

History Of FC Barcelona
On November 29, 1899, Hans Gamper founded Futbol Club Barcelona, along with eleven other enthusiasts of 'foot-ball', a game that was still largely unknown in this part of the world.

Over more than one hundred years of history, FC Barcelona has grown spectacularly in every area and has progressed into something much greater than a mere sports club, turning Barça’s ‘more than a club’ slogan into a reality.
For a whole century, FC Barcelona has passed through moments of glory and pain, periods of brilliance and other less successful ones, epic victories and humbling defeats. But all these different moments have helped define the personality of a Club that, due to its peculiar nature, is considered unique in the world.

Barça has second biggest media impact

FC Barcelona remains the club with the second biggest media impact in the world, but it is the leader in the Americas according to a study. Messi is also second behind Cristiano Ronaldo.

Only Manchester United has greater media value than FC Barcelona, according to a study by the Economics, Sport and Intangibles (ESI-rg) group at the University of Navarra. The English side’s successes in the 2007/08 season when they won the Premier League and the Champions League have given them top spot with 89.6 media value points.


Battle between Cristiano and Messi
At the player level, Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) has 19.2 points and tops the classification though Leo Messi, with 18.3, has cut the gap by six points since last June.
