Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional association football club based in

Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The club was founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss,
English and Spanish men led by Joan Gamper. Barcelona is one of only three clubs to
have never been relegated from La Liga[1] and the most successful club in Spanish
football, having won a total of 78 domestic titles: 27 La Liga titles, a record 31
Spanish Cups, a record 15 Spanish Super Cups, a record 3 Copas Eva Duarte and a
record 2 League Cups. Barcelona is the only European side to have played
continental football in every season since its inception in 1955 and one of the
most successful clubs in European football, having won 14 official UEFA trophies in
total.[2]

Aside from being the founder, Gamper was also one of the club's first footballers
and holds the record for most goals in a single match, with nine.[3] Lionel Messi
holds the record for the most number of appearances in official matches with 778,
is the all-time top scorer with 700+ goals, all-time top scorer in official
competitions, with 672, is the current La Liga top scorer with 474 goals and holds
the record for the most appearances in La Liga, with 520 matches. Messi has won the
record number of trophies for the club (35).

Barcelona has employed several famous players, with five FIFA World Player of the
Year winners and six Ballon d'Or winners among the previous and current Barcelona
players. This makes Barça the club with the most FIFA World Player awards received
by the players. In 2009, Barcelona achieved an unprecedented sextuple by winning La
Liga, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Champions League, the Supercopa de España, the
UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup in one calendar year.[4] The same year,
five of their players and their coach were voted onto the UEFA Team of the Year.[5]
