Barcelona played their official home matches for the entire season at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys due to the start of Espai Barça project to revamp the club's sporting facilities.[1][2]

This season was the first without captain Sergio Busquets, who left the club after 18 years (15 years as a first team player since the 2007–08 season) as a free agent in the summer and the first full season in 15 years without Gerard Piqué, who retired before the winter World Cup.[3][4] It was also the first season since 2011–12 without the left-back Jordi Alba, who reached an agreement with the club to terminate his contract one year before its expiration.[5][6]

The season was one of ups and downs, with the team ending their Champions League group stage as the Group H winners, securing its advance to the knockout stage for the first time in three years after they had failed to advance in the previous two seasons.[7][8] In the knockout stage, they defeated Napoli 4–2 on aggregate in the round of 16,[9] with their Champions League journey ending in the quarter-finals where they were defeated by Paris Saint-Germain in part due to a Ronald Araújo red card in the second leg of tie, which tipped the scales in Paris' favor despite Barcelona's first leg win.[10][11]

Elsewhere, Barcelona finished as runners-up in the Supercopa de España,[12] and was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey in extra-time by the eventual winners Athletic Bilbao.[13] In the league, they failed to defend last season's title, ending the season in the second place, with the only saving grace being the qualification for next season's Supercopa de España.[14]

It was Xavi's third, second full, and last season as the head coach of the team,[15] with Hansi Flick confirmed to take over the position starting next season.[16] Statistics-wise, the team scored 110 goals in all competitions, with Robert Lewandowski scoring the most (26 goals in all competitions).[17]

Notes
  1. For El Clásico match disputed on 28 October 2023, the emblem of the British band The Rolling Stones replaced the Spotify logo to celebrate the release of the "Hackney Diamonds" new album.[18] On 21 April 2024, coinciding with the league's El Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu, the Spotify logo was replaced by that of the Colombian singer Karol G.[19]
  2. The home shirt features classic broad blaugrana stripes. The crest includes a semi-transparent diamond, inspired by the logo of the team who played the first ever Barça women's football match at the Camp Nou in 1970.[20]
  3. The away kit is predominantly white, inspired by a kit worn by Johan Cruyff in the 1970s. The crest is that used in 1978.[21]
  4. The third kit is intended as a visual metaphor of the "Barça DNA". Using traditional Barça away aqua blue, a weave pattern in blaugrana evokes DNA. Barça DNA is the history, playing style, and development of young talent at the club.[22]
  5. The fourth kit is the same as the previous season; it features the Catalan senyera flag on the chest horizontally to pay tribute to the club's Catalan identity.[23][24]

I think this decision will help unblocking the team and the mood in here. I think the club needs a change of dynamic and I told the president Joan Laporta. As a fan, thinking about the club and the players, I think they will be freed up and will be calmer. I have always wanted to be a solution for Barça, as I was two years and three months ago – but thinking with my heart, I think it is best to leave office on 30 June. I thank the president for his trust. We need a change of course for the good of the club and this will de-escalate the situation surrounding Barça. In these four months I will give everything. I'll try to give my all to try and win the league. I think we can have a good season and hopefully the dynamic will change."[127][128][129][130]
