200th European Cup game on Wednesday

Manel Tomàs / Jordi Clos


Fifty years ago Barca played their first European Cup game in Sofi and the Kazan game on Wednesday will be Barca's 200th in Europe's top competition. Between the two games Barca have won three titles in six finals.


Barca have played in Europe every season, though not always in the European Cup, a competition they have taken part in on 20 occasions over the last 54 seasons.
