The 2013-14 campaign was a turbulent season of profound transition and deep disappointment for FC Barcelona, as Blaugrana, under new manager Gerardo Martino, finished a dramatic 2nd in La Liga after losing the title on the final day to a resurgent Atlético Madrid. Despite Lionel Messi's impressive haul of 28 league goals and the initial integration of new star Neymar alongside club legends Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, the team struggled to maintain their famous identity. The season delivered only the Supercopa de España, marking the club's first year without a major trophy in six seasons and signalling the beginning of the post-Pep Guardiola era.
