He, unfortunately, picked up a knee injury in September 2016 while in Barcelona training, causing him to miss a crucial La Liga clash against Atlético Madrid. He scored his first goal for the club on 4 March 2017 against Celta de Vigo which Barcelona won 5–0.
He would later play a vital role in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League in the second leg of the Round of 16 against Paris Saint-Germain, as he started the match alongside Gerard Piqué and Javier Mascherano in a 3 man central defence partnership.
Umtiti assisted his teammates in recovering from a 4–0 first-leg deficit to a historic 6–1 victory, the biggest comeback in the history of the UEFA Champions League. He would cap off his first year in Spain by winning the 2016–17 Copa del Rey and by establishing himself firmly as first-choice in central defence for the club alongside Gerard Piqué.

Now established as first-choice in defense at the club, after Barcelona’s subpar 2017 Supercopa de España while reeling off the loss of Neymar, Umtiti started the season in great form and helped Barcelona maintain an undefeated start to the season in La Liga and the Champions League, a streak that still continues.
As of 20 November 2017, Umtiti, assisted by the guidance of manager Ernesto Valverde, along with the good form of goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, was responsible for Barcelona having the least goals conceded of any club in Europe’s top-five leagues, with just four conceded.
