The 2016/17 season for FC Barcelona was eventful and marked by both successes and disappointments. The team, under the management of Luis Enrique, faced stiff competition both domestically and in Europe. Here’s a detailed breakdown of their performance across competitions:

1. La Liga (Spanish League):

• Final Position: 2nd place
• Points: 90 points (Real Madrid won with 93 points)
• Barcelona had a solid season in La Liga, winning most of their matches, but they fell short of the title to their eternal rivals, Real Madrid. One of the crucial moments in the league came when they defeated Real Madrid 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Lionel Messi scoring a dramatic last-minute goal, famously celebrating by holding his shirt up to the crowd.
• Top Scorer: Lionel Messi (37 goals in La Liga)

2. Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup):

• Winners: Barcelona won the Copa del Rey, defeating Deportivo Alavés 3-1 in the final.
• Goals in the final came from Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Paco Alcácer. It was Barcelona’s third consecutive Copa del Rey title under Luis Enrique, and it ended the season on a high note for the team.

3. UEFA Champions League:

• Exit: Quarterfinals
• Barcelona had a dramatic run in the Champions League. They made history in the Round of 16 by overturning a 4-0 deficit in the first leg against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to win the second leg 6-1 at the Camp Nou, a game that is now referred to as "La Remontada" (The Comeback). However, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Juventus, losing 3-0 on aggregate.

4. Supercopa de España (Spanish Super Cup):

• Result: Winners

Key Players of the Season:

• Lionel Messi: Once again, Messi was the standout player, scoring 54 goals in all competitions, including 37 in La Liga. His performances in key moments were critical for Barcelona.
• Neymar: He played a significant role, particularly in the Champions League, with his dazzling performance in the comeback against PSG.
• Luis Suárez: A consistent goal-scorer, finishing the season with 37 goals across all competitions.
• Andrés Iniesta: Though entering the latter stages of his career, Iniesta continued to pull the strings in midfield.

Luis Enrique's Departure:

At the end of the season, Luis Enrique announced he would step down as Barcelona's manager after three successful years, during which he won 9 out of a possible 13 trophies. His tenure included a treble in the 2014/15 season, but the 2016/17 campaign ended with only the Copa del Rey, leading to some sense of underachievement by the club’s high standards.

Summary:

• La Liga: 2nd
• Copa del Rey: Winners
• Champions League: Quarterfinals
• Supercopa de España: Winners

While they didn’t dominate as in previous seasons, the 2016/17 Barcelona squad was still one of the most formidable in Europe. Their victory in the Copa del Rey and the unforgettable Champions League comeback against PSG are memorable highlights.
