“I’ve been watching soccer for as long as my eyes have been able to see,” said Jaime Ibarra. 

He “blames” his dad for introducing him to the sport, acknowledging that soccer has been significantly intertwined in both of their lives. His dad was a college soccer coach and Jaime was always by his side, assisting and watching him. 

Years ago, he coincidently watched a few minutes of Ronaldinho playing for FC Barcelona and “never stopped watching after that.”

He started studying the history and learning more about the club.

“I understood that there just wasn’t a better club out there.”

FC Barcelona is a family affair for Jaime, he and his girlfriend Karla plan their lives around the matches and often receive texts from Jaime’s family regarding how the team is playing.

Jaime has enjoyed watching club legend Xavi take over and turn the team around and believes that brighter days are ahead. 

“I’m excited for next season to start,” he said, while encouraging all fans that believe their favorite team should be more than a club to support Barça.
