FC Barcelona is, without a doubt, one of the 3 most popular football clubs in the world. Proudly carrying the byline Mes Que Un Club, which literally and aptly means more than just a club, FC Barcelona has become an institution in Spain and one of the most solid pillars of the football world. Attracting the biggest names in the sport, FC Barcelona has been home to Diego Maradona, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Going on its 111th year of existence, FC Barcelona is poised to sign up even more marquee names and win more prestigious titles in many tournaments.

So storied is FAC Barcelona's history that the club has never been relegated from the premier La Liga. It is poised to continue its winning traditions despite some negative FC Barcelona news that the world has recently received.

In an internal revolution that almost took this legendary football club apart, Joan Laporta - the club president for most of the new millennium and the person responsible for the team's renaissance in 2003 - was almost ousted with a 60% vote of no confidence, 6% short of the required number.

A few weeks afterwards, fans were greeted ...
... with even more alarming FC Barcelona news - a spate of player transfers that involved the biggest names of the franchise: Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson and Zambrotta were sold to other football clubs.

More FC Barcelona news followed, with the club spending almost 90 million Euros in forming a competitive team with the acquisition of players like Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Seydou Kaita, Martin Caceres and Aliaksandr Hleb.

Fans, however, are still waiting for the biggest FC Barcelona news of them all - will the football club regain its previous luster? Will it continue its winning ways despite the loss of some key players and the addition of new faces?

Even with the negative FC Barcelona news of late, the football club has maintained its unbelievable popularity. FC Barcelona pics are some of the most downloaded images on the internet. These FC Barcelona pics range from photos of players in uniform, group photos, photos of players in public, and photos from actual matches. In European territories, FC Barcelona pics are even being peddled on the streets, often commanding relatively high prices from football enthusiasts and fanatics alike.

Some of the best FC Barcelona pics can be downloaded from one of the biggest and best FC Barcelona fan sites today, www.allaboutFCBarcelona.com .

Two years ago, DC Barcelona was assessed as the richest football club in the world. The loss of marquee players may change that tag, but based on the club's mythical history, two things remain certain: 1) FC Barcelona will never go down without a fight; and 2) it's just a matter of time before FC Barcelona will once again occupy its throne as the best in the world.
