Barça fans too dey full of themselves?
Yes. And we have every reason to be.
The greatest player of all time came from La Masia Lionel Messi
The greatest manager of all time also came from La Masia Pep Guardiola.
Lionel Messi, a La Masia graduate, Has most balloon d’or in football history
No one comes close.
Messi is also the most decorated player in football history.
Dani Alves is the most decorated right-back ever and the second most decorated player of all time, only behind Messi.
In 2010, football history stood still.
The Ballon d’Or top 3 were all La Masia graduates, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.
Three academy boys. One podium. Never done before. Never repeated.
Xavi and Iniesta didn’t just win trophies, they defined an era of football.
They changed how football is played from the middle.
Barça won a sextuple with a team built around academy boys.
Not galácticos. Not oil money. Pure football culture.
Let’s talk about legends who wore the Barça shirt:
Cruyff.
Maradona.
Ronaldinho.
Henry.
Ronaldo Nazário.
Romário.
Rivaldo.
Stoichkov.
Puyol.
Guardiola.
Busquets.
Aguero
Figo
Ibrahimovic
Neymar
Suarez
Lewandowski
Xavi.
Iniesta.
Messi.
Icons. Ballon d’Or winners. World Cup winners.
Eras were built here.
And it didn’t stop there.
Barça youngsters won the Golden Boy award back-to-back-to-back:
Pedri. Gavi. Lamine Yamal.
Three different generations.
Same club. Same factory.
Even the women’s team dominates football.
Alexia Putellas — Ballon d’Or winner.
Aitana Bonmatí — Ballon d’Or winner.
Men’s football. Women’s football.
Past. Present. Future.
La Masia everywhere.
So yes, Barça fans dey proud.
When your club produced the GOAT, the most Ballon d’Or winner ever, raised legends, ruled academies, and dominated football on all fronts…
You don’t explain yourself.
You stand on history. 🔵🔴
20 years ago, i left my country, my culture, my food, and family to embark on a journey that started with the release of my very first body of music! So many of you were a part of my life and career since the very beginning, and some of you have joined the adventure along the way. I’m forever grateful to all of you. Each of you played a very crucial role in where this journey has taken me thus far!
I just wanted to take this moment to say thank you! Thank you for the greatest first 20 years ever! 20 years of the most loyal, die-hard fans that don’t play about me whatsoever, 20 years of hard work and hardworking teams around me, 20 years of lessons, 20 years of unforgettable experiences and accomplishments, 20 years of my family being my number one support system, and to all the people who said yes to me and gave me a chance before it was “cool” to (Execs, DJ’s, writers, producers, dancers, choreographers, directors, fashion designers, photographers, glam, journalists, brands, mentors, etc etc) 20 years worth of thanks to you!! I thank God, He’s been very generous to me and the Glory belongs to Him! #R20 🙏🏿⚓️
Barcelona are larger than life.
People hate us because they don't understand that.
We're a culture. We're an identity. We're a symbol.
We don't care about your dark magic. We don't care about corruption.
We have our football. And a soul.
Mes que un club.
Always Barça. 🔵🔴
