The Barcelona 2011 squad search usually points here: Guardiola's 2010/11 team, its Wembley lineup and the players behind the starting XI.
Often called the peak of tiki-taka. Messi drifted inside as a false nine, Villa and Pedro stretched the pitch, and Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets controlled everything.
People open this squad and immediately queue Manchester United 2007/08. That pairing is a rivalry in the catalogue, not a historical fixture unless the years actually met.

How they play
Midfield 99 is where this side actually lives. Possession is rated 94 — they want the ball, or at least the model thinks they did. Pressing 84, so turnovers are supposed to happen high up.
