We are more than a team of great stars, we are more than a stadium full of dreams, we are more than the goals we've scored and more than the trophies that we've won throughout our history.

At Barça we are MORE THAN A CLUB because we have more than 144,000 members that make the big decisions democratically; because when we play, we want to win, but without neglecting our own, unique style. We invest in five professional sports and promote women's sport; we are a school for life that educates people through sport. We feel that such values as humility, effort, teamwork, ambition, and respect are just as important a part of the way we play as winning. We are firmly committed to social change, and the Barça Foundation provides support to the most vulnerable children and youth through sports and values. Without forgetting our roots in Barcelona and our Catalan identity and culture, we have always been open to the world. That's why FC Barcelona is Més que un club (More than a club).

This book details the complete history of the famous football club. Through its pages and images, the reader is able to delve into the victories harvested by the most emblematic players and trainers of the organization and discover the evolution and social impact of a club that has managed to transcend the sporting field and convert into a global phenomenon. Rich with great visual content, the volume portrays like no other the complete history of FC Barcelona, from its origins to the present day, passing through the milestones of the club.

The volume chronologically covers FC Barcelona's long trajectory, focusing on both its sporting success and history. It stands out for its great variety of photographs and historical pictures of the main football icons that have left their mark on the history of Barça.
