The 2017-18 campaign delivered a sensational domestic double for Barcelona as the Blaugrana, under manager Ernesto Valverde, clinched the La Liga title and a record-extending Copa del Rey. Leading the charge was the phenomenal Lionel Messi, whose league-leading 34 goals secured the European Golden Shoe and proved decisive. The season was built on domestic dominance and an emphatic 5-0 victory over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey Final, which marked the final, triumphant season of club legend Andrés Iniesta, alongside the ever-reliable Luis Suárez.
