The Football Supporter Issue 19 is now available to buy from our FSF shop for £3.50.

Barcelona is of course home to, possibly, the world's most famous stadium, the magnificant Nou Camp. Or is it Camp Nou? We're never quite sure.

We've focused on one of Barca's smaller stadia though as, for the second time in two years, Barcelona hosted England when they played Andorra in the World Cup qualifiers on 6 September 2008.

The game was (again) played on ‘neutral’ territory at the Andorran FA’s preferred Estadi Olimpic which is also where La Liga’s Espanyol play their home games, although they're due to move to a new development on the edge of the city.

See below for our guide to Barcelona.
