"Today, Barça is more successful, stronger economically, more innovative and more committed," said Josep Maria Bartomeu, president of FC Barcelona (LaLiga Santander) at the annual general meeting of the socios of the club, on 06/10/2019.

On this occasion, the Catalan club adopted the annual accounts for the 2018-19 financial year (€990m in revenue, see details below), as well as the 2019-20 budget, the first to exceed €1bn.

"We say that we are 'more than a club' when we win but also we used the phrase in the years when we suffered a drought, as a justification. We say that we are 'more than a club' because we are a different club that is owned by 140,000 members that participate in the big decisions. Today, the motto 'more than a club' is a totally valid and demonstrated expression with facts, and with the reality known and accepted around the world," added Josep Maria Bartomeu.
