Aside from being the founder, Gamper was also one of the club's first footballers and holds the record for most goals in one match, with nine.[3] Thirteen years after the founding of Barcelona, Paulino Alcántara joined the club and went on to become the all-time top scorer, with 357 goals in 357 matches. He currently has the record for most goals scored for Barcelona in all competitions.[4] The current record league goalscorer is Cesár, who scored 195 goals. He also holds the record for most goals scored in official competitions with 235 goals. Xavi holds the record for the most appearances in all competitions (including friendlies), with 688 games, the record for most league appearances, with 397 games, and the record for most appearances in official competitions, with 599 games.
The list includes notable footballers who have played for FC Barcelona. Generally, this means players that have played at least 100 league matches for the club. However, some players who have played fewer matches are also included if they are on FC Barcelona's list of Legendary Players.
