“A year later came Luis Enrique, a former Barcelona player who, in his first season as manager, won literally everything: the Champions League, La Liga, and the Copa Del Rey. While he was supposed to bring Barca back to their roots, he realized that he had three of the best attackers in the world, and sometimes they could figure out a defense on their own: Don’t prize possession for possession’s sake; get the ball to MSN, and good things will happen. This required less attacking support from the midfield and defense, which made the team less vulnerable to pressing defenses and counterattacks. If they needed to, Barca could still possess the life out of a game with Messi dropping deeper to aid the buildup and Neymar and Suárez stretching the defense, but they no longer had to win by playing one way.”

Just a correction a year after Guardiola left, Tito Villanova took over as a coach of Barcelona and they were able to equal RM highest point season total in that La Liga title-winning year.

The following season it was Gerard Martino, and then finally, it was Luis Enrique’s turn, and he achieved great success by winning the second treble in Barcelona’s history. He also doing this by beating Pep’s Bayern Munich in the Semifinals of the Champions League.
