Barcelona has been acknowledged as the European Club of the Year by the European Club Association (ECA) at a dinner in Geneva ahead of the organisation's General Assembly on Tuesday.

In claiming it again this year, Luis Enrique's side has become the first club to be recognized twice for its achievements.
