Barcelona enjoyed an outstanding domestic campaign in 2012/13, securing the La Liga title under Tito Vilanova, who had succeeded Pep Guardiola as manager during the summer of 2012.
Having previously served as Guardiola's assistant, Vilanova maintained the team's attacking philosophy and guided Barcelona to a record-equalling 100 points, matching the total achieved by Real Madrid the previous season.
The Catalan side led La Liga from the opening round and finished 15 points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, recording 32 victories and just two defeats across the 38-match campaign. Barcelona also became the first team to score in every match of a 38-game La Liga season, finishing with an impressive 115 league goals.
Lionel Messi enjoyed another remarkable campaign, scoring 46 league goals to claim the Pichichi Trophy and European Golden Shoe. The Argentine also scored in 21 consecutive league appearances, setting a record across Europe's major domestic leagues.
In the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona reached the semi-finals before being eliminated by eventual winners Bayern Munich. The Catalan side also progressed to the Copa del Rey semi-finals, where they were defeated by Real Madrid.
The season was particularly significant for Vilanova, who underwent treatment for cancer during the campaign while continuing to contribute to the team's success.
Produced by Nike, this 2012/13 track jacket formed part of Barcelona's training and leisurewear collection during their record-equalling La Liga campaign. Associated with Messi's exceptional goalscoring performances and Vilanova's championship-winning season, it represents another memorable chapter in the club's history.

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

Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.

Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.

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.

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.
