DISCOVER THE LEGACY OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST FOOTBALL CLUB THROUGH THE PLAYERS THAT CAPTAINED IT TO GLORY.
Award-winning author Guillem Balague takes us on a fascinating tour of FC Barcelona, journeying through the storied walls of the Camp Nou and the legacies of Bar a's captains - from historic greats such as Joan Gamper and Joan Segarra through to recent leaders like Alexia Putellas and Sergio Busquets - to offer a unique history of the Catalan club.
Guillem analyses the psychological profiles of Bar a's captains, delving into why they were chosen to wear the armband and the leadership skills necessary to guide such an iconic team to victory. Through exclusive interviews with some of the most emblematic captains, including Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, Balague offers a vision of their commitment, character, dedication and responsibility. We discover how they maintained focus and discipline on the field, overcame their biggest challenges, and led their side to glory - and in doing so became true giants of football and legendary captains of FC Barcelona.
