Josep Samitier, the great media star of Barça in the 1920s, remains part of the pantheon of Barcelona legends. The adjective "media star" is fitting because, in addition to being a phenomenal footballer who led the club's first golden age, he also had an unprecedented reach for a player of that era. Countless magazine covers, advertisements, films, and even friendships with idols from other areas of the entertainment world, such as Carlos Gardel and Maurice Chevalier, are proof that this player transcended the boundaries of the pitch to become an icon of Catalan society in the early 20th century.</p>]]></description>

You only have to pay a little attention to realize you're treading on ground that's more Barça than the flagpole. Ten meters from the entrance on Avenida Juan XXIII, there's already a warning: a Barça member wrote on his tombstone for eternity that, when he died in 2011, he held membership card number 1978.</p>]]></description>
