About this episode

This episode captures the raw, goosebump-inducing power of the 'Cant del Barça,' the anthem that defines FC Barcelona's soul. We journey back to 1974, when the song was a quiet act of Catalan defiance against the Franco regime, transforming the Camp Nou into a cultural fortress and proving Barça is més que un club. We then track its modern roar, analyzing how the anthem became a mantra of hope that perfectly soundtracked the electric arrival of Hansi Flick. Discover how Flick masterminded a breathtaking domestic treble in the season, including an unprecedented four-game dominance over Real Madrid, and how young superstars like Lamine Yamal and Pedri are carrying the club's defiant spirit into a thrilling new era.
