Barcelona have cracked 20 million fans on Facebook.

They are the first club to have 20 million followers on the biggest social networking site in the world. Only in February Barca reached 10 million Facebook friends.

In seven months, the Club has doubled its following to 20 million, which is more than the population of such countries as Holland, Chile and Angola.

Barca tech chief Didac Lee told the club's website: "This exponential growth is no coincidence, the Barça sentiment is spreading around the world thanks to a large extent to the enormous admiration it is attracting and the way it encompasses values that are so important in sport: teamwork, humility, effort … People should be proud to be Barça fans and social networks are a reflection of the current situation of the club."
