FC Barcelona Tickets

Although Laporta had fallen out with him during his tenure as president, Sandro Rossell has successfully taken over as president and retaining Pep Guardiola as coach his first season has been nothing short of spectacular. Guardiola is an ex-Barça player and took over the position from Frank Rijkaard when he was sacked after a dismal season.

Although the names often change - Ronaldinho experienced his career highs during his first seasons at Barça and Samuel Eto'o was another hugely successful figure Lionel Messi remains with the club and demonstrates again and again why football is often known as "the beautiful game". Other core players include goalkeeper Victor Valdes, captain Carles Puyol, Xavi, and Iniesta.

If you attend one of the more popular matches at the Nou Camp you'll experience the passion of the local crowd and if it's Real Madrid that Barça are playing then that passion will be on the point of over boiling.

Almost 100,000 fans can be seated at the Nou Camp and when at capacity the noise from the crowd is really deafening. You'll find people of all ages and backgrounds and if the match coincides with a public holiday in particular then many children will be treated to a match, accompanies by parents or grandparents.

Whether Barça win, lose or draw is always important, but if Messi is playing the final result can sometimes become secondary. Modest and unassuming, Messi always seems to enjoy himself on pitch and the crowd loves him.

If you're unlucky enough to visit Barcelona off-season, or on a weekend when FC Barcelona is laying away, remember that the Nou Camp is worth a visit as an experience in itself. Although most football fans will want to see the stadium full of fans with the squad on the pitch the Barça museum is the most popular in Catalonia, with more visitors than the Picasso Museum in Barcelona and the Salvador Dali Museum in Figueres.

On display in the museum are the team's trophies as well as photographs and other documents relating to FC Barcelona. You can also take the stadium tour and visit the tunnel and the director's area.

With all that in store how can you call yourself a sports fan and not pay homage to one of the world's greatest football teams? By reserving FC Barcelona tickets in advance you're sure to avoid disappointment.
