FC Barcelona celebrating the UEFA Champions League under Pep Guardiola

Perhaps the second most recognisable football club in the world today and the third most successful football club in the history of the sport is La Liga's FC Barcelona. The Catalan giants have been at the forefront of success for much of the last five decades and remain one of the two ultimate destinations for the world's best players.

Barcelona have won the league title 24 times, the Spanish cup 27 times, the UEFA Champions League 5 times, the UEFA Cup 3 times and the FIFA Club World Cup 2 times. With the likes of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, it looks like they'll rise above on this list and could potentially even head to the number 1 slot in the coming few years.

The Catalans turned the corner under former player and manager Johan Cruyff and then fielded what was possible the greatest footballing side of all time under former manager Pep Guardiola.
