Though it did not produce silverware, Futbol Club Barcelona's 2007-08 season would mark a period of change within the club, having many firsts and lasts. Most importantly, this would be Ronaldinho's last season with the club that had made him famous, being displaced by the coming of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. This season also marked the breakthrough of young talent Bojan Krkić into the first team, as well as the emergence of Lionel Messi as one of the team's key players. On the other hand, this would be Lilian Thuram's last season as a professional footballer, as well as Gianluca Zambrotta's last with the club.

Players

Squad information

Carles Puyol, the captain of FC Barcelona in the 2007-08 season.

The squad has reasonably changed in the summer transfer window. The biggest addition was Thierry Henry, with a transfer fee of €24 millions. That equals the transfer fee paid for Samuel Eto'o in 2004, but just below the €30 million paid for Ronaldinho in 2003. Other additions were Éric Abidal, Yaya Touré, and Gabriel Milito that are part of the current start team. On the other end, some important players that were often used last season have left the club, such as, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Ludovic Giuly. Barcelona still used a great number of players developed in its youth system, 9 of 23, and have two new additions this season: Giovani dos Santos and Bojan (17 years old, the youngest player on the squad).

Most of the players have contracts beyond this end of season, but Deco, an important player, has his contract ending in 2008. The captain is still Carles Puyol, who is from Barcelona's youth system, plays in the first squad since 1999 and currently is the player with the most appearances (268). Currently, the highest scorer is Ronaldinho, with 80 goals. Also Ronaldinho, from August of this year, has a European passport. On mid-October, Samuel Eto'o received Spanish nationality, making him an EU player. The only non-EU player is Yaya Touré. Because Spain ratified the Cotonou Agreement in 2007, however, Touré is now considered an EU player, as his native country of Côte d'Ivoire is a signatory to that agreement, and the 2003 Kolpak ruling extended the Bosman ruling to nations with an associate trading relationship with the EU.

Squad stats

Víctor Valdés has the most starts in this season.

Víctor Valdés and Éric Abidal have been the only two players that have started all the matches (excepting Copa Catalunya, when Barcelona didn't use the same players as for the other competitions). Previously, Gianluca Zambrotta and Yaya Touré started all the matches until they got injured. Oleguer Presas replaced Zambrotta and Andrés Iniesta replaced Touré. Giovani dos Santos and Bojan were the substitute forwards, while Santiago Ezquerro played only in the Copa Catalunya, as well as Eiður Guðjohnsen playing once. Thierry Henry started the majority of the matches when Samuel Eto'o got injured. He scored his first hat trick wearing Barça's jersey, and he's the second goal scorer with four goals. Ronaldinho missed three matches due to an injury.

Starting XI

This section show the most frequent starting 11 formation and players used in this season. So far, there is not much of a difference in the starting 11 from last season. Víctor Valdés, Gianluca Zambrotta, Rafael Márquez, Xavi, Deco, Lionel Messi, and Ronaldinho still part of it. Probably, because Carles Puyol was injured from the beginning of this season until 28 September, at this moment, Gabriel Milito has more starts. Éric Abidal has been a solid substitute for departed Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Yaya Touré, a big signing in the beginning of this season, has started lots of matches. Samuel Eto'o got injured after one competitive match, then Thierry Henry, the second biggest transfer in England last summer, has started as centre forward.

Competitions

Overall

As in nine out of the last ten seasons, FC Barcelona is going to be present in all major competitions this season. First division, Copa del Rey in Spain and UEFA Champions League in Europe. Also, Copa Catalunya in Barça's native autonomous community of Catalonia, but using mostly FC Barcelona B's players (see matches' reports). Their goal, set at the start of the season, is to win all the possible trophies. So far, they ended as runner-ups in the less important Copa Catalunya.
