Shreyas Iyer is well known for his love for the game of football. Over the years, fans have often seen him express his admiration for the sport, whether through social media posts or celebrating goals like a true footballer on the cricket field. And now, the Indian star cricketer has taken that passion to another level by visiting one of the biggest and most iconic football clubs in the world i.e. FC Barcelona.

Shreyas Iyer’s Camp Nou Visit Surprises Fans of Both Football and Cricket

Shreyas Iyer is typically known as a die-hard Chelsea fan. However, his recent visit to Barcelona’s legendary FC Barcelona's Camp Nou has turned plenty of heads. In a video posted by FC Barcelona’s official X account, Iyer was seen exploring the club’s famous museum, walking past the historic trophy cabinets and soaking in the rich legacy of the Catalan giants.

Barcelona shared the video on their official social media handles with the caption saying “Thanks for the visit, @shreyasiyer15. Once a culer, always a culer.” The post instantly gained traction, sparking excitement among fans across both sports. The crossover moment between cricket and football was widely celebrated, with the clip garnering thousands of views and reactions in no time.

Barcelona Welcomes Shreyas Iyer with a Personal Touch

What made the visit even more special was a surprise gesture from the club as FC Barcelona gifted Iyer a personalized jersey with his name and his number 96 on the back. The moment was symbolic, bringing two sporting worlds together and offering a glimpse into the mutual admiration shared between elite athletes across sports. For Iyer, it seemed to be a dream moment, and for fans, an exciting time in its purest form.

The football crossover with Indian cricket stars has now reached another level. Just a day before Iyer’s visit, the Indian men’s cricket team visited Manchester United’s base, where they met stars like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, and head coach Ruben Amorim, a moment that set social media on fire. Now, Iyer’s stop at Barcelona adds the perfect cherry on top of what has been a week full of iconic football-cricket fusion.
