A football trip to Joan Gamper Cup 

The Joan Gamper Trophy, also known as Joan Gamper Cup, is an annual football match in Barcelona, organised by FC Barcelona at Camp Nou. This friendly match is held in August, before the start of the football season. It is named after the founding member of FC Barcelona, Swiss football player Hans Gamper, who is referred to as Joan Gamper in Catolonia. The Joan Gamper Trophy is held at the beginning of the season, and several festivities are held around the stadium. FC Barcelona’s new players are also introduced at this match.

The history of the Joan Gamper Trophy

The Joan Gamper Cup didn't always have the format it now has. Four matches were initially played in this Trophy. Barcelona invited Anderlecht, Nantes and 1. FC Köln to the first Joan Gamper Trophy. FC Barcelona won the competition the most. If a match ends in a draw, then the game doesn't get extended with 30 minutes – which usually is the case when games end in a draw – but both teams have to participate in a series of penalties. The team that manages to score the most goals wins. The tension is extremely high during this penalty shoot-out.

The record-holder of the Joan Gamper Trophy

Lionel Messi holds several records in the history of the Joan Gamper Trophy, and, honestly, how could it be any different? His first record is that he is the only player to has ever won the man of the match award in the Joan Gamper Trophy more than once; he won it four times. Secondly, he is the only player who scored in six consecutive editions. Unfortunately, you can no longer see Messi play in a match of the Joan Gamper Cup - unless the match takes place between FC Barcelona and PSG - but don’t worry; there are still enough other top footballers that play in FC Barcelona!
