FC Barcelona: The Evolution of Catalan Identity

While players often end interviews with "Visca el Barça i Visca Catalunya," the club's leadership has historically interpreted this identity differently. Josep Núñez broke the tradition of the pre-election toast and distanced himself from Jordi Pujol to maintain control over the Camp Nou.
