The 2006-07 campaign for Frank Rijkaard's FC Barcelona saw a season of near-glory and heartbreaking near-misses. Blaugrana finished 2nd in La Liga with a sensational Ronaldinho leading the attack with 21 goals, but ultimately losing the title on the head-to-head record to their rivals. Despite winning the Supercopa de España, the side, which featured the brilliant trio of Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, and the emerging Lionel Messi, suffered disappointment with a Round of 16 exit in the Champions League, marking a pivotal year for a squad expected to dominate Europe.
