FC Barcelona is one of the most famous soccer clubs in all of the world and was founded back in 1899.
Based out of Spain, FC Barcelona is considered the second most accomplished soccer team in their country next to Real Madrid. The team has won nine major European titles, the most in the world.
They have also won many other titles throughout their history.
They are the most popular team in their country, as more than 25% of the Spanish population supports the club. Another survery recently conducted shows even more support for the team, with FC Barcelona being considered the most popular team in all of Europe.
FC Barcelona plays in a stadium that seats nearly 100,000 people, which is more than double that of widely popular Chelsea FC.
The club used to have the services of the ever popular Ronaldinho, arguably the most talented soccer player in the world. However, the team elected to make roster changes and sell him off to AC Milan. He was just one of several key players that were jettisoned in this way.
You can't argue with the results though, as FC Barcelona went on to be crowned La Liga champions for the 2008-2009 season.
