Yaya Touré to face his former team
On Manchester City’s roster are players like ‘Kun’ Agüero, David Silva, Samir Nasri, Edin Dzeko and former FC Barcelona player Yaya Touré, who will face off against his former team-mates after leaving the Catalan Club three and a half years ago. His brother, Kolo Touré, left the Citizens this summer for Liverpool.

It grew from strength to strength, winning titles such as the Macaya Cup in 1902, the Pyranees Cup in 1910 - 1912.In 1899 Joan Gamper, a Swiss man, decided to introduce football to Barcelona by setting up a team. The club was officially founded on 29th November 1899.

During the 1920's the team's fame and success grew. They won the first Championship League in the 1928 - 1929 season. With the club's new popularity it was necessary to build a new stadium. In 1922 the 'Les Corts' stadium was built, with a capacity of 22,000 people.

In 1996 - 97 two new arrivals to the team had a great affect - Bobby Robson on the bench and Ronaldo on the pitch. This was a successful year for the team.
