Barcelona

Barcelona are back at their brilliant best. Under Hansi Flick, the 2024/25 season saw the Catalan giants win the domestic treble, clinching the La Liga with a 2-0 over local rivals Espanyol. Reclaiming their dominance with a blend of seasoned stars and fearless youth. Teen sensation Lamine Yamal has lit up the campaign, becoming the youngest player ever to reach 100 appearances for the club. Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha were relentless in front of goal, while midfield maestros Pedri and Frenkie de Jong orchestrated the tempo.

This treble-winning campaign wasn't just about silverware, it marked the revival of the Barça spirit, powered by La Masia graduates and a fearless, attacking philosophy.

The ultimate modern football legend, Lionel Messi turned brilliance into routine and made the No.10 shirt iconic across the globe. From a young boy in Rosario to a teenage prodigy making his debut for Barcelona, Messi’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Season after season, he delivered unforgettable moments, dazzling solo runs, clutch free-kicks, and inch-perfect assists. In 2012, he shattered the record for most goals in a calendar year, scoring an astonishing 91 goals across all competitions for club and country.

With 45 major trophies to his name, Messi stands as the most decorated player in professional football history. His honours include twelve league titles, four UEFA Champions Leagues, two Copa Américas, one FIFA World Cup, and a record-breaking eight Ballon d'Ors. To many, he is simply the greatest footballer of all time.
