FC Barcelona
Episode 2 of 2
A look at the history and the passion behind FC Barcelona, ahead of their Champions League Final tie with Manchester United FC.
Pascale Harter takes a look at why FC Barcelona is, as its slogan says, 'more than a club'.
She meets what fans call 'the family', from footballing legend Johan Cruyff, the father of Barcelona's unique style of play, to the man who calls himself 'the mum' of Barcelona's youth academy, to find out how a history of oppression, and a sense of Catalan nationalism have combined to make FC Barcelona more than a club.
She also looks at how it's able to develop, and then keep hold of, some of the world's top footballing talent, like Argentinean striker Lionel Messi.
