A 25-year-old woman from Lleida became the 20 millionth visitor to Barcelona's club museum just after midday on Thursday local time.
Monica Ruiz from Almenar was welcome by Javier Faus, economic vice-president of the Catalan giants, and received a giant ticket that credited her as visitor number 20 million.
Wearing a Xavi shirt, Monica told the club's official website, "It was quite a surprise" and added that she was a “little crazy with so many emotions”.
Monica and her friend Julia also met Barca president Sandro Rosell and were presented with a commemorative shirt to honour the special occasion. The two women also received tickets for the Blaugrana's league fixture against Hercules on Saturday evening.
