FC Barcelona have enjoyed a historic 2011 campaign, with theirย recent triumph in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup final over Santos serving as the icing on the cake.

The Catalans have wonย five trophies in the calendar year, including the FIFA Club World Cup, La Liga, theย Supercopa de Espaรฑa, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup.

In fact, the only competition that Barca failed to win was the Copa del Rey, which the Catalans had to settle for runners-up to bitter rival Real Madrid.

Nonetheless, it was a near perfect 2011 for L'equip blaugrana.

Now it's time to sit back andย reliveย Barca's top 20 goals of 2011. Enjoy.

The Goal That Won the Super Copa

1 of 20

Tremendous play from Fabregas and Adriano leads to a peach of a goal from Leo.

Ibrahim Afellay Scores Against Malaga

2 of 20

It's a shame Afellay doesn't get the chance to play every week because he is undoubtedly one of theย most underrated wingers in Europe.

Dani Alves Stuns Mallorca

4 of 20

This was aย cracking goal from the world's best attacking full-back since Roberto Carlos' days with Real Madrid.

Alves on the Volley

Good hit? I would say so.

Vote for Pedro

The goalkeeper's reaction says it all. Simply unstoppable.

David Villas Curls It in

7 of 20

David Villa's strikeย was sheer class, butย Ray Hudson stole the spotlight with his trademark emphatic goal call.

David Villa Strikes Versus AC Milan

8 of 20

It's hard enough to beat Barcelona when they are on average form, but if they're scoring goals like this it's nearly impossible.

Cheeky Back-Heel, Cool Finish

9 of 20

When your center-back can provide a moment of brilliance like this, you know you have the most technically gifted club in the world.

Alexis Sanchez's El Clasico Debut

10 of 20

Messi and Sanchez areย a potent combination. Expect them to link up on countless occasions in the future.

Possession Is Nine-Tenths of the Law

11 of 20

Since the arrival of Pep Guardiola, Barca have proved that possession is 9/10 of the law. This scenario was no different.

One, Two, Thank You Very Much

12 of 20

Arsenal fans around the globe can only shake their heads after seeing this one-two.

Fabregas Finishes Madrid

13 of 20

A typical Barcelona counter, a fantastic Dani Alves cross and the ball ends up in the back of the net.

Bend It Like Xavi

14 of 20

The Catalan vice-captain punishes Jaime Romero for his clumsy challenge with a bending free kick.

Iniesta's Champions League Golazo

15 of 20

What an entrance into the top 20 from Iniesta. This goalย is probably theย best of the bunch.

One on One with Casillas

16 of 20

How cheeky can you be?

Thiago Joins the Party

17 of 20

Clinical weak foot finish from Thiago. Just think, Arsenal could have had him and 25 million euros for Fabregas. Can you say howler?ย 

Name That Catalan: Isaac Cuenca

18 of 20

When you haveย B team players of Cuenca's quality you know you've got a deep andย talentedย squad.

Alexis Sanchez's Curler Versus Rayo Vallecano

19 of 20

I don't know what is more impressive, the way Alexis created the spaceย for theย shot or his inch-perfect finish.

Pique's Glancing Header

20 of 20

Might as well Pique some recognition. Surely Manchester United are regretting giving up on the Spaniard so soon.
