The club finished sixth in La Liga with 56 points, their worst league position in over a decade, which only secured them a UEFA Cup spot. Barcelona experienced three managerial changes during the course of the season. Despite domestic struggles, they fared better in the UEFA Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals and setting a competition record with 11 consecutive wins. However, their Copa del Rey campaign ended abruptly with an embarrassing 2-3 loss to third-division side Novelda CF in the round of 64.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Players\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe season began with Louis van Gaal as manager, who was later replaced by Radomir Antić in February 2003.
