Does Pau Gasol have a connection to FC Barcelona?
Pau Gasol has not said he roots for FC Barcelona. The tie is background: he was born in Barcelona on July 6, 1980, and the club's own site, in a piece dated March 14, 2019, describes him this way: "He was born in Barcelona but grew up in Sant Boi de Llobregat on the outskirts of the city, and joined FC Barcelona in the 1997-98 season at the age of 16". That is a writer's account of his path, not a statement of loyalty from him.
What team did Pau Gasol root for growing up?
Nothing shows a team he rooted for as a kid. According to Wikipedia, his family moved to Sant Boi de Llobregat, a city close to Barcelona, when he was 6, and he spent the rest of his childhood there. He later played for FC Barcelona from 1998 to 2001 and came back to the club in 2021, which makes the connection one of employment and geography.
