The 1997–98 FC Barcelona season saw the club win the La Liga title and the Copa Del Rey, under the guidance of new coach Louis van Gaal.

The club sold Ronaldo to Inter Milan just before the season began, with Anderson becoming their main striker.

Van Gaal introduced a 4-3-3 formation to Barcelona, under which Rivaldo scored 20 goals in the league as centre forward.

Barcelona crashed out of the UEFA Champions League, finishing last in their group.
