FC Barcelona Completes The Double, Closes Fantastic Season

What kind of crazy world do we live in that seven trophies in two seasons can be called a disappointment, on any level?

Well, Barcelona did not retain the Champions League, nor did they complete the one-year sextuple. Those are big disappointments, but in the context of the Luis Enrique era, it is a folly to get too down.

The fact is that Barcelona have retained the domestic double, a feat they had never achieved before. They won a league and a cup in Spain, which has produced the Europa League winner and both Champions League finalists.
