FC Barcelona, one of Europe’s most prestigious football clubs, colloquially known as Barca, auctioned its first-ever NFT for $693,000 at a Sotheby’s auction in New York on July 29.

Barca’s NFT titled In a Way, Immortal is a video digital artwork showcasing Johan Cruyff’s iconic goal against Atlético Madrid on December 22, 1973. Johan flew through the air to score a goal against the football club.

The auction was closed at $550,000, but with the addition of the auctioneer’s fees, the total sale value came to $693,000. The buyer has also purchased four other NFTs, including the animated version’s static image that captures the iconic moment.

FC Barcelona also sold a quarter of its stake in FC Barcelona’s Barça Studios to crypto firm Chiliz for around $100 million to create better NFT and metaverse experiences for its fans.
