Barcelona is one of the three clubs that have never been relegated from the first division. The other ones are
Athletic Bilbao
and Real Madrid.
FC Barcelona was founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Spanish, English, and Catalan footballers led by
Joan Gamper
. The club won its first Copa del Rey in 1910, and their first league title in 1929. The club was forced to change their name in 1938 to
Club de Futbol Barcelona
and also had to remove the Catalan flag from the crest. This happened because of
Italian
rule. In 1957, the
Camp Nou
opened. In 1974, the club changed its name back to
Futbol Club Barcelona
and went back to using the original crest with the Catalan flag and the red and blue colors. Barcelona won their first
UEFA Cup Winners' Cup
in 1979 against
Fortuna Dusseldorf
, and won again three years later. A year later, in 1983, the club won their first
Supercopa de Espana
. The club won its first Champions League in 1992 against
U.C. Sampdoria
. In 1992, they also achieved a treble, winning their first
UEFA Super Cup
and the league title, along with the Champions League. From 1990 to 1994, Barcelona won four consecutive league titles with
Johan Cruyff
.
[3]
The club's main rival is Real Madrid, but it also has more rivalries. It has a local rivalry with
RCD Espanyol
, since both clubs are from the city of Barcelona. Matches between the two clubs are known as
Derbi barceloni
. Espanyol supporters used to see FC Barcelona as a
foreign
team because Espanyol were a Spanish club, unlike Barcelona. Barcelona has been very dominant because Espanyol has only been able to finish above Barcelona in the league on 3 occasions in 70 years.
