It has been almost 122 years that Joan gamper With 11 friends he founded this club, half of them Catalan and the other of people who came abroad. They named the club after the city and also wanted to add the Creu de Sant Jordi and the senyera.

And you and you have done it and you know it, Riqui and Ansu, from children in La Masia, or Caroline and Marta, this year winning the Treble sometimes against physically stronger teams ”.
Laporta concluded in the following way: “We always think that we can do better and that makes us grow as people, club and society. That can generate noise at times.

The shirt is inspired by the shield and by everything that makes us one more club. and I hope that the members and fans will wear this shirt when they go to the Camp Nou, the Johan Cruyff or when they follow us around the world ”.
