2015 Sextuple Record

Lore & Background

Barcelona played its first friendly match on 8 December 1899 against the English colony in Barcelona in the old velodrome in Bonanova. In 1929, the club became one of the founding members of La Liga. They hold a long-standing rivalry with Real Madrid, with matches referred to as 'El Clásico' (El Clàssic in Catalan). Matches against city rivals Espanyol are known as the 'Derbi barceloní'.

In Their Own Story

The roar of the Camp Nou was deafening as the final whistle blew in Berlin, sealing the Champions League title against Juventus. But the journey wasn't over; the players knew the calendar demanded one more conquest. Weeks later, under the bright lights of Tokyo at the Saitama Stadium, the same blue and red shirts faced a new challenge from River Plate. With Messi orchestrating and Suárez finishing, they added the final piece to their puzzle. As the FIFA Club World Cup trophy was lifted, the realization settled in: no team before them had ever touched all six crowns in one year.
