FC Barcelona, also known simply as Barcelona and familiarly as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Spain. The club first participated in a European competition in 1910, and from 1955 onwards spent every season in one or more European competitions. The first international cup they took part in was the Pyrenees Cup. The competition lasted from 1910 to 1914 and Barcelona won four out of five editions. From 1914 to the beginning of the Latin Cup in 1949, Barcelona did not participate in any international competitions. From the 1955-56 season, with the exception of the 1956-57 (during the first Fairs Cup, because Vienna XI withdrew from the competition), they are the only team to have played in the European cups every year until today.

Barcelona has won the now defunct Cup Winners' Cup four times and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup three times, which is more than any other club for both trophies.^[1][2] They also took part in the Latin Cup twice as champions of Spain, winning on both occasions. Though their early participation in the European Cup, now Champions League, was largely unsuccessful, they have since won the trophy five times, with their first win in 1992.^[3]

FC Barcelona have moved to the top of the ranking of Europe’s most successful clubs in terms of international trophies won. The European Super Cup victory in Tbilisi against Sevilla meant that the Catalans have now won 19 different titles, more than any other team in Europe.

In total, Barça have won five Champions Leagues, three Club World Cups, four Cup Winners’ Cups, three Fairs Cups and five European Super cups. That moves them two ahead of Real Madrid and AC Milan, and even further ahead of the next group of clubs in the list, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Juventus, who have 11.

Pyrenees Cup

FC Barcelona's 1910 squad, victors in the inaugural Pyrenees Cup.

Barcelona began to play friendly games against teams from the neighbouring regions in France in 1904. Club president Arthur Witty organised the club's first trip abroad, which resulted in their first game against a non-Spanish team. On 1 May 1904, Barcelona defeated the French team Stade Olympien des Étudiants Toulousains.^[4]

By 1910, the international friendlies evolved into the Pyrenees Cup, a competition featuring teams from Languedoc, Le Midi, Aquitaine, Catalonia, and the Basque Country. At that time it was considered the finest competition open for participation.^[5][6] Five editions were played in total, with FC Barcelona winning four consecutive trophies from 1910 to 1913.^[7]

Latin Cup

In 1949, the football federations of Spain, Italy, France, and Portugal, came together and launched their own club competition, the Latin Cup, which was staged at the end of every season in a single host country.^[8] The competition featured two semi-finals, a third place play-off and a final. As La Liga champions in 1949, Barça represented Spain in the inaugural competition. They beat Reims 5–0 in their semi-final at Les Corts, before beating Sporting Lisbon 2–1 in the final at the Estadio Chamartín. Barça also played in and won the 1952 competition in Paris, beating Juventus 4–2 in the semi-final and then Nice 1–0 in the final.^[8] After the introduction of the European Cup, the Latin Cup was discontinued and nowadays it is not recognised by UEFA.^[8]

The European Cup was inaugurated in 1955, with Barcelona's arch-rivals Real Madrid winning the first five editions.^[9] In 1959, Barcelona entered this competition for the first time, after winning the 1958-59 La Liga season. Until the 90s, the club had little success, apart from their runner-up places in 1961 and 1986. In 1992, Johan Cruyff's Dream Team^[10] won their first European Cup with a 1–0 win against Sampdoria. Since then, Barcelona has won the competition four additional times; in 2006, 2009 2011 & 2015. Barcelona has established itself as one of the strongest sides in European competitions, when measured in UEFA coefficients.^[3][11]

UEFA Cup Winners' Cup

Bobby Robson (1988 image) led Barcelona to victory in the 1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, which formed part of a cup treble.

Ronaldo's converted penalty in the 1997 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final saw Barcelona beat Paris SG 1–0 and rack up a record fourth Cup Winners' Cup title.

The Cup Winners' Cup started in 1960, but it took three years until Barcelona participated for the first time. In their first edition, they were eliminated in the first round by Hamburg SV. In 1969, their second participation, they advanced to the final, but were beaten by Czechoslovakian side Slovan Bratislava. The first success came in 1979 when they defeated Fortuna Düsseldorf in the final, by 4–3 after extra time. This maiden success was emulated in 1982, 1989, and in their last participation in 1997, before the cup was reorganised into the UEFA Cup in 1999-2000. Barcelona's four victories are the most of any club.^[36]

Inter-Cities Fairs Cup / UEFA Cup / UEFA Europa League

The ball used in the final of the 1958 edition of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, residing in the FC Barcelona Museum.

FCB face PSV in the 1977–78 UEFA Cup semi-finals. They also finished the season as Copa del Rey winners.

Johan Cruyff participated in several unsuccessful attempts to win the UEFA Cup in his time with Barcelona.

The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup was established on 18 April 1955, two weeks after the European Cup, to promote trade fairs by playing various cities against each other. The city of Barcelona, however, participated with a team purely made of Barcelona players. From 1958 onwards, the organisers reverted to club participation, but the teams still had to come from cities staging trade fairs. Barcelona would go on to win the Fairs Cup a record three times before it was subsumed into the UEFA Cup in 1971.^[50]

The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is considered to be the forerunner of the UEFA Europa League, but it is not recognized as a UEFA competition. As such, Inter-Cities Fairs Cup wins do not count toward the tally of Europa League wins.^[51] This list tallies the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup together with the Europa League tournament. In the UEFA Cup – Europa League, FC Barcelona has lost four semifinals, in 1975–76, in 1977–78, in 1995–96, in 2000–01. Two times they lost against Liverpool (in 1976 and in 2001), one time against PSV Eindhoven (in 1978) and one against Bayern Munich (in 1996). In all four cases, the team that has eliminated FC Barcelona then has won the trophy.

UEFA Super Cup

The UEFA Super Cup was inaugurated in 1973 as a way of determining the best team in Europe, by pitting the holders of the European Champion Clubs' Cup against the winners of the Cup Winners' Cup.^[54] Barcelona first participated in the 1979 edition, after they won the 1978–79 Cup Winners' Cup. They lost 1–2 on aggregate to Nottingham Forest, having drawn 1–1 in Camp Nou after losing 0–1 in City Ground, Nottingham. The first victory was in the 1992 edition, when they beaten Werder Bremen 3-2 on aggregate. Since then, Barcelona has won the competition four additional times (in 1997, 2009, 2011 and 2015) and now shares the record of victories (five) with Milan.

Intercontinental Cup / FIFA Club World Cup

In 1960, UEFA and their South-American equivalent, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), created the Intercontinental Cup as a way of determining the best team in the world, by pitting the winners of the European Champions' Cup and the South American Copa Libertadores against each other. In 2000, FIFA launched their international club competition called the FIFA Club World Cup, featuring teams from all of its member associations. In the second edition of the Club World Cup, in 2005, FIFA took over the Intercontinental Cup, subsuming it into its own competition. FC Barcelona has won the FIFA Club World Cup three times (in 2009, 2011 and 2015) a record for this competition. ^[56][57][58]
