    Joan Gamper <\/strong>managed to bring together ten footballers, three Swiss, one German and six Spaniards, so that the Bar\u00e7a <\/strong>played the first game in its history, on December 8, 1899, on the soccer field of the Bonanova Vel\u00f2drom<\/strong>inaugurated a few years before, whose playing field was nothing more than an esplanade full of potholes and irregularities with goals without nets. This Sunday marks 125 years since that legendary moment, which undoubtedly did not acquire the appropriate historical perspective at the time, since it was not much more than a match between friends, although the newspapers of the time, such as ‘La Vanguardia’ , they included it in their editions and even Gamper <\/strong>He sent chronicles to Switzerland.<\/p>\n

    The leader of the group of founders of Bar\u00e7a, Gamper<\/strong>who served as captain since the founding assembly, was a regular practitioner of the new sport that had become fashionable during the 1990s, a city he had arrived in 1899. He had founded the Zurich <\/strong>and had played in the Excelsior <\/strong>and in the Basel<\/strong>in his Swiss <\/strong>native. He dreamed of establishing a club also in Barcelona in which he could play, since some groups of native soccer practitioners did not admit him, because he was Protestant and a foreigner.<\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n

      Gamper <\/strong>He founded the club with the idea that the members of the new entity would also be the players. And for that first game, Gamper <\/strong>He had some of his teammates in the games that were organized before the founding of the club, as well as directors from the first board and friends of his who helped make the first lineup.<\/p>\n

      The chosen rival was a team from the English Colony, or ‘English Team’<\/strong>which won 0-1 and five days after that inaugural match merged with the Barcelona club in its second assembly, in which the board of directors was also expanded. Many of the components of ‘English Team’<\/strong> They had participated in the inauguration of the Bonanova Vel\u00f2drom<\/strong>in 1895.<\/p>\n

      The second match was played on December 24, 1899, against Catal\u00e0, a great rival in the early days, with a 3-1 score in favor of Bar\u00e7a, which had already adopted the Bar\u00e7a colors by then.<\/p>\n

      The alignment<\/p>\n

      These were the ten pioneers of the first game: Urruela<\/strong>first goalkeeper, Marquis of San Rom\u00e1n de Ayala, polo and tennis champion, as well as great-grandfather of the designer \u00c1gata Ruiz de la Prada. Wild, first president of the club. Swiss, he was a gymnastics instructor. Lomba, Santander university student. He was a professor at several universities, a writer and literary critic. D’Osso<\/strong>secretary of the first board, nephew of Sant Enric d’Oss\u00f3 i Cervell\u00f3, canonized in 1993 and founder of the ‘Teresianas’, and for religious reasons he had some tension with Gamper and the other Protestants in the club. He had a printing press and collaborated in ‘Los Deportes’. Llobet<\/strong>pharmaceutical representative, practiced fencing and belonged to the Regatta Club. Lopez<\/strong>who joined the board of directors in the second Assembly. Terradas, one of the founders of the club and future president. He saved the entity financially on several occasions. Gamper, the great legend of Bar\u00e7a’s beginnings, was the first captain, scorer and president on five occasions. Kunzli<\/strong>a Swiss friend of Gamper<\/strong>only played that first game. Schilling, a German national, also played only the opening match, at the age of 47<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
