Season summary [ ]
The 2002–03 season was the final year of president Joan Gaspart 's reign. It was also his least successful at Barcelona, with the club changing manager three times during the course of the season, disrupting the league campaign. The club eventually finished in sixth place in La Liga , which was Barça's worst position in 15 years . In the Copa del Rey , the side failed to get past the round of 32. 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.
