Curator's note

“Read together, these pieces move from training ground and match preparation to captaincy and individual recognition. Their strongest value is narrative: six different forms of material evidence from the final decade of an era that changed both Barcelona and modern football.”

The collection, piece by piece

Six pieces.
One footballing story.

Each entry is presented with the photographs, specifications and provenance notes currently available to Runelis.
