Summary

Description

In this fun and fact-filled book, Football Superstar's dynamic duo, Dan and Simon tell the story of footballing giants Barcelona, charting the club's amazing history - from its formation by immigrants in 1899 to how it grew into a major European side in the 70s. Then, there was the club's evolution in the 2000s under master coach Pep Guardiola and his talisman Lionel Messi, and of course its lifelong rivalry with real Madrid. Along the way, you'll learn about the other legendary players, managers, matches, the club's lifelong rivalry with Real Madrid and much more that tell the story of the football institution admired around the world. True to the Football Superstars brand, the book is filled with fun cartoons, inspirational stories, a simple narrative style and a cast of characters chipping in with quotes, jokes and comments.
