Other things that made this Barcelona so special :
- Xavi and Iniesta on their peak, total midfield control
- Barcelona back then was more HUMBLE, something that this Barcelona urgently needs
- Key signings that help the team on key moments, not just players to bench them
- Carles Puyol always puts the team in order, he is a symbol of respect and perhaps the greatest Barcelona captain of all time
- Messi was just one more player to complete the team, now he is pretty much the entire team with Ter Stegen.

Strongest Barca side ever according to me and not only that they won they entertained all of us. Great tactical breakdown like always. Keep doing your thing.

Undoubtedly the greatest team ever to play football ! Thierry Henry said, " If you tell me that you love football, and you don't love Barcelona, you have a problem !! ". And Jordi Cruyff said, that " To play against Barcelona in 2011, you just knew you had a bigger chance to lose than to win". WHAT A TEAM !

Tactical formation was another part of success. The big success comes from Xavi & Iniesta holding and not losing.
Where comes Messi deadly run and never losing the ball against 3-4 Opponents which exploit the opposition Defence which led to Goals or Score himself.
At Defensive Midfielder Busquest is immune to Pressure as for all Mid players.
Pedro and David Villa had to just keep their position and be effective.
Dani Alves finding space is just intelligent.

That was the whole success.

We could see this gap soon after one by one left.

Guardiola happened. After he leaves Barca, the club focus on 'galacticos' rather than La Masia. They should revamp the club and focus on youth system again.

FC Barcelona Standout year was definitely in 2011. Though they might have won more trophies in 2009 and 2015, 2011 was they year were in my opinion the team stood out individually and tactically. The game they played in this year was both effective and beautiful to watch plus successful . This is the greatest achievement. They did not just win games they won their games in style and that's what made this Barca side in 2011 very special and one of the greatest teams ever no doubt. Great video! 😉 💪 🌈

In those years, from 2008 to 2012, FC Barcelona had won everything thanks to a great coach called Pep Guardiola. He had developed his tactical idea and philosophy for the cules. He had many youngsters from La Masia like Sergio Busquets, Pedrito Rodriguez, Sergi Roberto, Thiago Alcantara and Gerard Pique. Also he had improved some great players tactically, technically, mentally and physically such as Leo Messi employed in a new forward position called falso nueve. This was one of greatest success for FC Barcelona alongside the season 2014/2015 success with Luis Enrique and the outstanding trio MSN. FORÇA BARÇA

the strongest Barcelona side a.k.a. the best football team of all time

[najmussabir]

Secret is they were born in the right time to play together.
The manager, the players and everything.

Undoubtedly in this season, Barcelona became on the greatest team of all time.
Two matches you mentioned are enough to show how glorious their playing style were
Amazing analysis. Keep it up mate

[pedrosampaio]

Very good! I love that period of barcelona
But there is one missing point that was nice. When the team had the ball, dani alves had a full right side to run and press the other team left wing. When that happend abidal went closer defensively and the team becomes 3 defenders (abidal-pique-puyol) while dani was going to the last third of the field to do his assists. as if it was a 3-4-3

Also Pedro was a fundamental part of the team as a player with the lowest quality he understood exactly his job, being a versatile forward for any kind of situation with the ideia of being always an auxiliar or a complement.

As a true madridista I'm proud to say I'm satisfied with that one win in the final... That Barcelona team is the best ever.

[holunho]

Strongest Barcelona since Cruyff's era.

[hectorlucero]

What I noticed this season, especially in the El Clasico 5 - 0 win, Barca played in attack with Abidal as the Left CB, Puyol, as the Central CB and Pique as the Right CB.

-Villa would stay out wide in the left. Dani Alves would stay out wide in the right.

-The midfield trio would stay the same but with Iniesta leaning a little bit more to the left than usual.

-Pedro would be moving more into the Center in order to plant both opposition CB but would also be leaning to the right.

-Messi, however would have a lot of freedom and would often make a Diamond with the midfield in order to have superiorites in numbers.

These tactics would make the opposition almost impossible to counter because Barca would occupy almost the complete pitch. So the would always end up finding a way to to attack. Either through the wings and playing drive crosses or playing inside with the wingers stretching the opposition in order for Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi, and Messi to shine through the middle with they extraordinary tecnique, while having 3 players like Abidal, Puyol, Pique as players were very good with the ball but at defending, they were phenomenal with high line of defence very well organized.

For me, this has been the best team that has ever played football, even though they didn't won the Copa del Rey.

7:50 that's so wrong, pep is the master of positional play,
if you know the story of henry when he went to the other flank combining with messi which result of a goal, then pep take substitued him at half time because of that..

[adithyansachu]

Not just barca it's the best football team ever

[kreesannaicker]

I've been a barca supporter since 2006 but watching that 2011 side I truly fell in love . Each one of those players where a gift from the gods . I watched the 2011 final with United fans and they weren't even disappointed just speechless. One told me that even if united played better they still wouldn't have won . Even if barca get relegated I'll always have faith in this team just hate the board and greedy executives destroying my team . ViscaBarca....

Ps Spain didn't win the w.c . Barca did 👌

[sauravdahal]

Hey.Your video makes us forget about long quarentine. Do a video on how can argentina be a team like 2014-16 seasons or can win international trophies again.

[wwimmortal]

Villa and Pedro are often overlooked but their runs were massively important to create freedom for Messi and iniesta.

[davidkamau]

Xavi palyed as partner central midfilder to Busquests and since messi was the false 9, he occupied the right half space alot more than xavi especially in the build up phase. It looke like a 4-4-2 with 2 false 9s(messi and iniesta)
