Ahead of this season, the Catalans faced a lot of challenges. In fact, the club had a very terrible preseason. First, they lost their superstar, Neymar Junior, to Paris Saint Germain in a very complicated deal. The Brazillian was signed by the French club in a world record deal worth €222million.
That deal was followed by a lot of crisis in the club. While some people blamed the player for disloyalty, others slammed the board, claiming that they did not do enough to preserve him.
As if that was not enough, the Blaugrana faced another disappointment which made things even worse. This time, they were humiliated by their arch-rivals, Real Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana.

The Catalans have proved their critics wrong and gained the heart of their fans. They have made it to the final of the Copa Del Rey and are on course to reclaim the La Liga title from their arch-rivals.
