FC Barcelona, the reigning UEFA Champions League title holders, are running a hot streak both in the football arena and in the boardrooms. The Spanish club, known for their traditions and fan following, are the best football club in the world, and its not just me saying. In addition to millions, of not billions, of fans who follow the Camp Nou-based team on all fronts, the statistics combed from the data from last five years say ample about their performance in and off the field.

Although Lionel Messi is the main attraction and the most paid player in the Barca roster, the likes of Daniel Alves, Gerard Piqué, Carles Puyol, Xavi Hernández, David Villa, Andrés Iniesta and Alexis Sánchez have all polled in their faculties to make the club best of the best in the world. Victor Valdes in front of the net has always been the iron wall, ensuring his team remains on the top of the charts.

FC BarcelonaIt’s also among the most successful top-tier sports organizations of recent times, having won four of the last six Spanish titles, along with three Champions Leagues, two FIFA Club World Cups, one Copa del Rey and five Supercopas. Such a record has helped Barcelona climb to the third spot on our annual valuations of the world’s soccer teams, with a worth estimated at $1.31 Billion. Only Manchester United and Real Madrid best Barca in the roster of the most valuable football clubs in the world.
