When We Were Eternal

Pep Guardiola was the trainer of FC Barcelona for four seasons, four years in which Barça won every title possible and likely played the greatest soccer the twenty-first century has seen, in an unforgettable style that is now studied and admired across the globe.

This is the story of the team Guardiola made eternal when he invited his players to run, pass, strive, andshow their talet. They listened to him, and they started to play and win in a way no club in history ever had, so smoothly and efficiently that the whole world fell in love with them, and not just the fans at Camp Nou, "when the whole world wanted to come to Barcelona to see Barça play," as Joan Laporta, the president of the club, claims.
