# 2019–20 FC Barcelona season

The 2019–20 Futbol Club Barcelona season was the club's 121th season in existence and the 89th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football. Barcelona competed in La Liga, Copa del Rey, Supercopa de España and UEFA Champions League. The season covered the period from 1 July 2019 to 14 August 2020.
The club endured its worst season in years, going trophyless for the first time since 2007–08. Head coach Ernesto Valverde was replaced by Quique Setién in January 2020 after a Supercopa defeat to Atlético Madrid, but that did not improve the team's fortunes, as they lost the closely fought title race to Real Madrid and were infamously defeated 8–2 by Bayern Munich in a one-legged Champions League quarter-final tie.
