Why do we wear the azulgrana? Why is FCB more than just a club? How did the nickname Barça come about? Who were the soccer idols of our grandparents? What is the curious origin of the Dream Team? Was Gamper the first president? What really happened around the signing of Di Stéfano? What have been the most spectacular moves of the culé epic? How did we go from playing matches on improvised soccer fields to having the biggest stadium in Europe? Behind the shield hides the legend of a club. From the mythical note in a newspaper with which Gamper announced the founding of the team to Luis Enrique's hat-trick, more than 100 years have passed, full of colossal myths, epic feats, pyrrhic victories, hilarious anecdotes and incomprehensible defeats that have remained hidden in the mists of memory, but that have marked the identity of the biggest club in the world of soccer. An exciting reading that will take you to the old stands of Les Corts, will make you enjoy the mythical Barça of the Five Cups, Iniesta's goal, Koeman's foul at Wembley or Guardiola's sex tete, that will make you suffer with the defeat of the final of the square posts and vibrate with the memory of the Bernabéu standing up applauding Ronaldinho. You will discover why Barça is not just the name of a team or an inimitable style of play, but a genuine way of feeling the colors. The Culés of today are heirs of a prodigious soccer legacy that has managed to stand as the standard of a unique and recognizable soccer philosophy in the whole world, whose maxim is that the how is more important than the what. For there are many ways to win, but only one leads to eternity.
