6 things FC Barcelona doesn't want you to know
FC Barcelona has been around for over a 100 years and it would be naive to think that they don’t have a few skeletons in their closet they’d like the world to forget. They may have enough trophies to fill an entire apartment, but hidden away in that same place are dirty little secrets the Catalans don’t want anyone talking about.
Luckily for them, their team has been so good for so many years, that even though most of their embarrassing secrets are public knowledge, supporters are quick to forget.
At present, the club has to only wave the magical wand they love to call 'MSN' to make the general football-loving masses forget some of the questionable things they've done in the past. While some of them are just embarrassing albeit funny little titbits, others constitute far more serious encroachments of the law.
So, without whitewashing the truth, here are 6 things FC Barcelona doesn’t want you to know about them:
#6 A pig’s head that would make Mario Puzo proud
The rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid is such that the two clubs hardly ever do any transfer business with each other. The two Spanish giants broke that unspoken rule once when it came to signing Luis Figo. The former Portuguese captain is usually remembered as one of the Galacticos but some forget that he was a Barcelona player before that.
His Catalan fans definitely didn’t forget his great betrayal. During an El Clasico, Barcelona supporters went all ‘Godfather’ on him and threw a severed pig’s head and a bottle of whisky as he was about to take a corner. It’s safe to say the club would not want people to remember how unforgiving they can be.
