DESCRIPTION:

Nike would go back to their unconventional drawing board ahead of the 2017-18 season, and not for the first time this decade, would they equip Barcelona with a fine design. Taking heed from the successful 2012-13 shirt; Nike would make the spiritual successor to that strip by imbuing ‘Los Cules’ with a navy back drop, and thin red stripes emanating from the centre; creating almost a hybrid between of the 2011-12 shirt, and aforementioned 2012-13 shirt! In our opinion, the result is a fine shirt, and one that will live long in the memory of Barcelona fans. In another piece of trivia; this would also be the first shirt to emblazoned with the Rakuten sponsorship; taking over from the assorted Qatar based sponsors used throughout the decade.

The notable players that season were:

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar, Ousmane Dembele, Paco Alcacer, Gerard Deulofeu, Phillipe Coutinho, Andres Iniesta, Sergi Roberto, Paulinho, Andre Gomes, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Denis Suarez, Aleix Vidal, Thomas Vermaelen, Samuel Umtiti, Javier Mascherano, Yerry Mina, Jordi Alba, Lucas Digne, Nelson Semedo, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen
