What do Cruyff, Maradona, Ronaldinho and Messi have in common?

They all led Barça in different periods and although 45 years split the first from the last, they all coincided with a very special person: Montse Tomàs.

This is her story...
👇 THREAD 👇 On 4 February 1974, when just 19 years old, Montse wandered a little lost into the FC Barcelona offices to join the Football Department.

After 45 years of service to the club, Montse is retiring.

But how did she start out at Barça?

I love football and play at the Barça Academy in Lusaka. But playing football in Africa is not always easy...

👇 THREAD 👇 The road from my home to the Barça facilities in Lusaka is two hours on foot. I wasn't always able to do it and I couldn't go for two weeks.

A few months ago, a young collector of sports antiques from Valencia contacted the Barça museum.
A pennant from 1937 had come into his hands. This is the story behind it.

👇👇👇 Pablo Pérez (pictured right) is the collector who felt the pennant must have value “because it’s from the Spanish Civil War, and it’s very hard to find collectors’ items from that era”.

It remained to be seen what Barça would make of the discovery.
