Under new manager Bobby Robson, Barcelona experienced a season of highs and turbulence. The club signed Ronaldo Nazário from PSV, and the Brazilian striker delivered a phenomenal campaign, scoring 47 goals in 49 games, including many unforgettable solo efforts. Barça finished 2nd in La Liga, behind Real Madrid, but excelled in cups. They won the Copa del Rey, the Supercopa de España, and the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, defeating PSG in the final. Despite the silverware and Ronaldo’s brilliance, Robson only lasted one year, with Louis van Gaal succeeding him. Ronaldo departed for Inter, marking an abrupt end to a dazzling era.
