With the opening of the European market and Bobby Robson as coach, the team bolstered its lineup with key players like Luis Enrique, Pizzi, Vítor Baía, Couto, Giovanni, Blanc, and the standout Brazilian Ronaldo, whose transfer from PSV Eindhoven cost 2,500 million pesetas. Ronaldo quickly justified his price by becoming La Liga's top scorer with 34 goals, playing a crucial role in winning all three titles. Barcelona finished second in La Liga, just two points behind Real Madrid, who won with 92 points. The team secured the Spanish Super Cup in a two-legged match against Atlético de Madrid and triumphed in the European Cup Winners' Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain on 14 May 1997 with a 1-0 victory in Rotterdam. They also won their 23rd Copa del Rey by defeating Betis 3-2 in extra time on 28 June at the Bernabéu, after a thrilling match. A memorable highlight of the season was the remarkable comeback against Atlético de Madrid in the Copa del Rey, where Barcelona overturned a 0-3 deficit at halftime to win 5-4. In November, Bakero left the club and had an emotional farewell during a Liga match against Real Valladolid (6-1), where he scored a goal before moving to Veracruz in Mexico.
