This shirt stood out with vertical yellow and red Senyera stripes, directly inspired by the Catalan flag. It was one of the boldest statements of Catalan identity in Barça’s history, worn proudly by stars like Messi, Neymar (his debut season), Xavi, and Iniesta. The design was bright, politically symbolic, and unforgettable under Tata Martino. While the season was disappointing in terms of trophies – Barça finished 2nd in La Liga, lost the Copa del Rey final to Real Madrid, and fell in the UCL quarter-finals – this kit remains one of the most iconic political and cultural statements ever made through a football shirt.
