Koeman's Barcelona, despite being going through a very delicate moment in LaLiga -where he occupies the thirteenth place in the table, although with two games less-, he is dominating his group in the Champions League with an iron fist, qualifying for the round of 16, with two games to go, after making a full four wins. Right now, he only has to contest the first place with Juventus, which he surpasses by three points, after clearly winning in Turin (0-2).

For Barcelona, ​​qualifying for the round of 16 has become practically little more than one more day at the office. And is that Since the 2004/05 season that the Blaugrana team has managed to progress to the next phase of the Champions League in a row, chaining this way 17 seasons in a row.

An authentic record that marks very well the potential of the Blaugrana in the last two decades in Europe. In fact, Barcelona has added a total of four more Champions to its record during this period, in addition to the one it won in 1992 at Wembley.

Remember that in the 2003/04 season, Barcelona could not play in the Champions League by qualifying sixth in the national championship, having to dispute that season the UEFA where he was eliminated in the round of 16 against Celtic of Glasgow in a very close tie (1-0) and (0-0). It was a Barça in reconstruction, with Frank Rikjaard on the bench, Ronaldinho on the pitch and Joan Laporta in the box.
