FC Barcelona On This Day revisits the most magical and memorable moments
from the club's glorious past, mixing in a maelstrom of anecdotes and
characters to produce an irresistibly dippable diary of one of the most
dominant clubs of modern times - with an entry for every day of the
year. From its formation in 1899 to the trials and tribulations of
growth, the hard-fought El Clasico derbies against Real Madrid, European
glory in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to the current juggernaut that
brushes all comers aside - it's all here. The club's all-time greats,
including Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Ronaldinho, all loom
large, as do their most famous coaches - Johan Cruyff, Frank Rijkaard
and Pep Guardiola. Revisit 20 May 1992 when the club won its first ever
European Cup, 15 January 1939 when the club was forced to change its
name under Francoism, 8 December 1899 when Barcelona played their first
ever match against a group of Englishmen, and 28 March 1954 when the
construction of the Nou Camp started in front of 60,000 fans.
