Barcelona supporters have introduced a new chant that is already catching on inside the stadium, but the song may not go down too well with their Catalan rivals.
Barcelona fans sing new Joan Garcia chant at the Camp Nou
A new chant was debuted around the Camp Nou during Barcelona's recent LaLiga win over Sevilla, which centred around goalkeeper Joan García.
The chant: “Joan Garcia is from La Masia”, has quickly gained traction among supporters, particularly within the newly reintroduced Grada d’Animacio signing section.
What makes the song stand out is its bilingual nature, working seamlessly in both Catalan and Spanish, helping it spread more easily across the fanbase.
The chant celebrates García’s growing popularity and integration at the club, while also referencing La Masia, Barcelona’s famed academy known for producing generations of top players.
FGG says: New Camp Nou song won’t go down well with Espanyol supporters
While the chant is clearly intended as a show of support for Garcia, it carries added significance given his links to local rivals RCD Espanyol.
The 24-year-old shot-stopper came through the system at the RCDE Stadium before sealing a £22 million switch to La Blaugrana after they triggered his release clause.
That connection means the song is likely to be viewed as a pointed jab, whether intentional or not, adding another layer to the rivalry between the two Catalan clubs.
Chants like this are part of football culture and often reflect the mood of a fanbase, but this one in particular feels certain to get a reaction across the city, especially if it continues to grow in popularity at the Camp Nou.
