During the 2002–03 season, FC Barcelona competed in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League.

The club eventually finished in sixth place in La Liga, which was Barça's worst position in 15 years.

In Europe, however, they fared slightly better, reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League and setting a competition record for the most consecutive wins, with 11.

Overall, the team's form was poor all season, which spurred wholesale changes in management, the board and squad of players.
