Can’t stand em!
I think they might be the most despicable club in football.
When Soriano was still working for them, they hacked his emails and put him under surveillance. That severed their relationship and he’ll never go back. When Txiki had already joined City, he said that Barcelona are an unprofessional club.
They run their club terribly and against the rules yet seem to get away with it half the time.
They were fined €300 (yes, your read that correctly, three-hundred Euros) for breaking rules when they signed Griezmann.
They have a referee payment scandal hanging over them:

They received illegal state aid for years:

They’ve just failed FFP:
Manchester United and Barcelona have been fined for breaches of UEFA's FFP regulations, the governing body announced Friday.

They tap up players all the time (the pathetic €300 Griezmann fine was for tapping him up), they’ve been unsettling Bernardo Silva through their press for over two years.
They are also one of the core drivers behind the European Super League.
Proper horrible club. Maybe the worst, most dodgy club of all?! Yet they’re held up as this special paragon of magnificence. Gündoğan said when he signed for them that it’s always been his dream to play for them, as soon as he said it I thought, ‘it’s been your dream to play a bunch of dodgy fucking crooks, yeah alright Gundo nice one’.
