[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many latin families feel connected to FC Barcelona? [/quote]

Messi? I don’t know ... they’re just one of the most famous and successful Latin soccer teams out there.[/quote]

Am I missing something ? Barcelona is a European club not Latin. Anyway my guess in because Messi is from Argentina. Although that would be like the USA and Mexico connecting with Alphonso Davies because he’s from the same continent. So maybe it’s like the LeBron factor where whatever team he plays for becomes popular. [/quote]

Latin people include Spanish and Portuguese (as well as Italians and some parts of France); Latin people, like the Latin language, are indigenous to Europe. You’re confusing “Latin” with “Latin-American” or “Latino.”

In any case, yes of course the presence of major soccer players from Latin America on Barcelona plays a role, I’m sure. However, there are Latin Americans playing for clubs all over Europe, from England to Germany and beyond, so I think the Latin cultural bond probably has something to do with Barcelona’s popularity among Latin Americans. Plus of course, superstar Messi. [/quote]
