PREVIEW | FC Barcelona v Valencia

2 months ago | fcbarcelona.com | Mike Roberts

FC Barcelona are doing brilliantly in the Champions League, are through to the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey and already have the Spanish Super Cup in the bag. But things have not been going quite so immaculately in the domestic league, where the once runaway leaders have dropped to third in the table after a run of just one win in eight games, and only six points out of a possible 24.

FC Barcelona are at home to Las Palmas this Saturday and here you'll find all of the essentials on a team from the Canary Islands. Where are they from?

FC Barcelona 1-0 Getafe: Victorious again!

Sep 25, 2024 | fcbarcelona.com | Mike Roberts

After three wins by comfortable margins, Wednesday brought a reminder that not every game is going to be like that. Despite taking a deserved and relatively early lead, and no matter how long and hard they pushed, Barça couldn’t find a second. It meant that the final minutes of this game were very nervous times for Barça fans. Indeed, there were a couple of moments very late on when Getafe came frighteningly close to snatching an equaliser.
PREVIEW | FC Barcelona v Getafe

Sep 25, 2024 | fcbarcelona.com | Mike Roberts

With six wins out of six, and having scored four or more goals in their last three outings, FC Barcelona are in rampant form under new coach Hansi Flick. In fact, this is the joint third best start to a league season ever, and another win would leave the team just one win short of the record the eight-game run under Tata Martino in 2013/14. And there's no shortage of reasons to expect another three points at home to Getafe on Wednesday night (9pm CEST, check our guide for the time where you are).
The lowdown on Getafe CF

Sep 24, 2024 | fcbarcelona.com | Mike Roberts

FC Barcelona are hoping to keep alive their winning start to the season in Wednesday's 9pm CEST kick-off against Getafe. Here are the bare essentials on the azulones (blues). Where are they from? Getafe is a district in the south of Madrid, and the site of the Cerro de los Ángeles, which is traditionally considered to be the geographical centre of the Iberian Peninsula. It’s close to the district of Leganés, so the two clubs are natural rivals and met in the derby at the weekend, which ended 1-1.
30 years since the 5-0 defeat of Real Madrid

Jan 7, 2024 | fcbarcelona.com | Albert Fibla

8 January 1994 and almost exactly two decades earlier, 17 February 1974, are two dates that will forever be part of Barça folklore, and the same Johan Cruyff was involved in both. The Dutchman was in the team that won 5-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu, and 20 years later managed the side to a win by the same score at Camp Nou.
Iñaki Peña: 'I was always ready to play'

Dec 25, 2023 | fcbarcelona.com | Albert Fibla

Marc-André ter Stegen's injury has meant that Iñaki Peña (Alicante, 02/03/1999) has taken his place for the time being as the regular first team goalie at FC Barcelona. And he has certainly shown that he is more than capable of assuming the responsibility. Here he is to tell us all about it.
50 years on: How Johan Cruyff came to FC Barcelona

Aug 12, 2023 | fcbarcelona.com | Albert Fibla

FC Barcelona had been interested in Johan Cruyff from the late 1960s. Vic Buckingham, the English coach at Camp Nou at the time, and the very man who had handed Cruyff his debut at Ajax when he was only 17, recommended him as a potential signing. However, in that era Spanish football had a ban on foreign imports. All the same, president Agustí Montal and his board approached the Dutch superstar, who was clearly very interested in somehow making the move to the Catalan capital.
