Madrid: After a year of political turmoil in the board and court rooms and disappointment on the pitch, Barcelona have not taken a first trophyless season in six years lying down. Facing two transfer window signing bans, a summer of revolution in the Catalan capital saw former captain Luis Enrique installed as coach and over 150 million euros ($200 million) invested in the squad.

However, doubts remain over how wisely that money has been spent and whether Barca have truly addressed their weaknesses from last season. The headline purchase has been the 81 million euro capture of Luis Suarez from Liverpool.
