Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, the saint patron of which is Saint George, like England and other countries in Europe.
The coat of arms of the city of Barcelona has the cross of Saint George on the left and the Catalan flag on the right:

So this was taken from the football club when founded in 1899.

Yeah its because Saint George is the patron saint on Catalunya (Barcelona) as well as England hence the English flag.
