Barça's Style

This book traces the evolution of the style of play of one of the most important, successful and stylistically effective teams in history.

Players such as Alcántara, Samitier, Luis Suárez, Maradona, Stoichkov, Figo, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, and coaches such as Johan Cruyff, Frank Rijkaard, Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique have all formed part of the club.

These, along with numerous other players and coaches, have forged a long and enriching path that has led to the creation of one of the best teams in the history of soccer.

Based on the graphic representation of a hundred key matches and an excellent and thorough use of newspaper archives, this book takes the reader on a journey through the technical style of FC Barcelona. Along the way, the book discusses the style of play, the players, the signings, anecdotes, curiosities, the imprint of different coaches, their differences and influences and the contexts in which they appeared.
