Lmao Guardiola is a clown.
Honestly, the 08-12 era was magical but after that divorce, both us and Guardiola have come out looking terrible.
Us a little less so because 2015 treble thanks to Lucho god.
Leo, seriously, after 8 years, try to think about these factors:
1. world was shocked back then, they were clueless how to defend against TikiTaka
In seasons 2 and 3, teams started to understand how to stop him.
In a season 4, even La Liga teams knew how to play against us.
2. we had Messi on his prime
3. we had Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Alves, Puyol, Pique
4. there were no Italians due to Calciopoli and bankruptcy
5. there were no rich oil teams
6. the opponents weren't as physical as today.
And even when they were, Pep lost almost ties to physical teams: Chelsea 2009, Inter 2010, Chelsea 2012
Today: when majority of teams are physical, when everyone knows better how to neutralize his style, when he has no Messi and Xavi, when he is crossing on a fckng Gabriel Jesus, ARE YOU GUYS really that surprised that he is getting KOd by Monaco, Tottenham, Lyon and similar, lol?
But hey, we should go back to Pep's style from 2009-2011:
1. with players who are not Messi and Xavi
2. against opponents who know how to neutralize us
3. in the era where everyone plays physical football
