The club played in the 1994-95 season in La Liga, Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League.

Summary

During summer Johan Cruyff asked for the transfers out of several players such as: Goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, Forwards Julio Salinas and Jon Andoni Goikoetxea. Meanwhile Michael Laudrup left the team and signed with archrivals Real Madrid. Also, Cruyff made a bid on Benfica midfielder Rui Costa without enough support by the club and failed to buy the portuguese youngstar who was transferred out to Fiorentina. The failed transfer opened the arrival of midfielder Gheorghe Hagi to replace the spot left by Laudrup. ^[1] Central-back Abelardo Fernández arrived from Sporting Gijon to reinforce the defensive line.

FC Barcelona did not repeat its successful season in 1993–94, and fell back to fourth in La Liga, as well as knocked out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals by Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcelona did not perform well in the mid season and lost the league title to Real Madrid by 10 points behind included an humiliating defeat by 0–5 in Madrid, despite this Johan Cruyff was not let go by the club, taking over to the 1995–96 season.

The side won the Supercopa by defeating 1994 Copa del Rey winners Real Zaragoza.

Romário left the club in January transferred out to Flamengo. At the end of the season Hristo Stoichkov was transferred out to Parma and Ronald Koeman left the club after 5 seasons.
