With Bobby Robson in charge after Johan Cruyff’s exit, Barcelona went through a transitional but thrilling year. The marquee signing was Ronaldo Nazário, who produced an unforgettable season, scoring 47 goals in 49 games, dazzling with pace and skill. Barça finished 2nd in La Liga, behind Real Madrid, but found huge success in cup competitions, winning the Copa del Rey, the Supercopa de España, and the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, beating PSG in the final. Despite the trophies, Robson lasted only one season, with Louis van Gaal brought in. Ronaldo left for Inter, ending a spectacular but brief era.
