All perception about "bigishness" of football clubs is based on last 20-30 years of televized football. I had many discussions with KFA people here and they were shocked to hear me saying that Barcelona was fairly average in European football before this generation. They'd bet their lives on Barcelona always being the Messiutiful club. They just recall what they've seen in last 20 years, who was winning titles in that period and that's it - that are the big historic clubs.
1992 was the year that they won their first European Cup, wasn’t it?
The late, great Johan Cruyff was manager/head coach and a certain Gary Linekar was in the squad.
