Contrary to the expectations and primarily due to stellar Lionel Messi performances, Barcelona was en route to its third continental treble until May 7 when it infamously lost to Liverpool 0–4 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, having been up 3–0 after the first game. The league title was secured earlier on April 27 and Barça advanced to its sixth consecutive Copa del Rey final on February 27. The loss at Anfield derailed the team and they went on to lose the Copa final as well. Barça's league title was its eighth in eleven seasons; their next league title was in the 2022-23 season. Head coach Ernesto Valverde was sacked midway next season.
The season was the first since 2001–02 season without former captain Andrés Iniesta, who departed to join Vissel Kobe.

UEFA Champions League
On 30 August, Barcelona were drawn in Group B of the UEFA Champions League alongside Tottenham Hotspur from Premier League, PSV Eindhoven from Eredivise and Internazionale from Serie A.[123] After topping Group B, Barcelona advanced to knockout phase as a seeded team, and were drawn against Lyon from Ligue 1 in the round of 16.[124] In the draw for the quarter-finals, Barcelona were drawn against Premier League side Manchester United, and in the draw for the semi-finals, against the winner of the tie between Liverpool and Porto, if Barcelona advance to a further round. Originally, the quarter-finals match was scheduled to be played with the first leg at Camp Nou and the second leg at Old Trafford, but the order of the two legs was reversed to avoid Manchester United and Manchester City from playing home on the same night or on consecutive nights.[125]
