They had a challenging start to the season but improved under manager Ronald Koeman as the season progressed. However, inconsistency and dropped points in crucial matches prevented them from challenging for the title.
-
UEFA Champions League: Barcelona had a disappointing campaign in the Champions League. They were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Paris Saint-Germain, losing 5-2 on aggregate. This marked the first time since the 2006/07 season that Barcelona failed to reach the quarter-finals of the competition.
-
Domestic Cup Competitions: In the Copa del Rey, Barcelona won the competition.

-
Gerard Piqué: Despite facing injury setbacks during the season, Piqué remained an important leader in Barcelona's defense. His experience and ability to organize the backline were invaluable to the team.
