1993–94 FC Barcelona season

FC Barcelona had one of its most successful seasons in the club's history, retaining the domestic league supremacy and reaching the final of the UEFA Champions League; however they collapsed 0–4 against A.C. Milan (goals from Daniele Massaro, Dejan Savićević and Marcel Desailly). Their progress to the final in Athens had been virtually flawless. Indeed, on their way the Catalans had won four group games and drawn two to reach the semifinals, where they defeated FC Porto in a single-game tie at Camp Nou.

Romário and Hristo Stoichkov and Ronald Koeman were the main reasons for Barcelona' success. Rather than relying on the tight defence of the previous season, Barcelona had four of the league's top scorers.
