Barcelona has officially been named the most popular football club in both men and women’s football.

Although the men’s team has struggled to live up to past glory in recent seasons, it’s still known as the side that has featured Lionel Messi, Neymar, Diego Maradona, Luis Figo, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto’o.

In fact, it is widely considered that Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona team in the late 2000s, which included Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique, was one of the greatest of all time.
