Worn during Barcelona's 2019/20 campaign, this home shirt featured during a season of managerial change, as Quique Setién replaced Ernesto Valverde in January 2020.
Barcelona entered the campaign as defending La Liga champions, with the squad strengthened by the arrivals of Antoine Griezmann from Atlético Madrid and Frenkie de Jong from Ajax. Alongside Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Gerard Piqué and Sergio Busquets, the new signings formed part of a squad aiming to retain its domestic title.
Despite leading La Liga at various stages of the season, Barcelona eventually finished second with 82 points, five behind champions Real Madrid. Messi remained the club's leading scorer, recording 31 goals in all competitions, including 25 in La Liga, while also providing a league-leading 21 assists.
The Argentine secured his seventh Pichichi Trophy as La Liga's top scorer, while his performances throughout 2019 earned him a record sixth Ballon d'Or.
In the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona progressed from a group containing Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Slavia Prague before eliminating Napoli 4–2 on aggregate in the Round of 16.
Their European campaign ended in the quarter-finals following an 8–2 defeat against Bayern Munich in Lisbon, with the competition's remaining knockout matches played as single-leg fixtures following the COVID-19 interruption.
Barcelona also reached the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by Athletic Club following a 1–0 defeat. The campaign concluded without a major trophy for the first time since 2007/08, bringing an end to Setién's tenure as manager.

Condition
Each item is individually inspected and graded by our team to ensure an accurate representation of its condition.
Every item at The Soccer Archive is individually assessed and graded on our condition scale out of 10. This rating takes into account the overall quality of the fabric, print, badges and any natural signs of wear that come with age.
Most pieces we sell are vintage or pre-owned, meaning small signs of age can be part of their character.
Our condition guide
10/10 - Brand New with Tags
Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.
9/10 - Mint
Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.
8/10 - Excellent
A well-kept piece with minor signs of age or use. This could include light bobbling, slight fading or very small marks, but it still presents really well.
7/10 - Very Good
Noticeable wear consistent with age. This may include moderate fading, small pulls, bobbling, minor cracking to print or a small mark.
6/10 and below - Good with Noticeable Signs of Wear
More obvious signs of wear or ageing. This might include heavier fading, marks, pulls, print wear or repairs.
Any notable flaws will always be highlighted in the product description and imagery.
