The Day Guardiola's Football Machine Started To Work ● The Beginning of a Golden Era 

I miss Carles Puyol on the field.. much respect to him. -from Liverpool fan.

Iniesta was constantly taking those 1-1’s, amazing to see someone other than messi do that

Back when barca didnt depends on one player. Every player brave enough to take on at least one player. And back when xavi and iniesta magic at its finest.

The whole time I was wondering why the video is playing at 3x speed, but then I realize I am just used to watching the current Barcelona.

Greatest football team in history.

And that’s how all started, the greatest team ever play the game in history.

There was a point where Messi Xavi & Iniesta were judged to be the best 3 players in the world, even Cristiano was behind. Then the likes of Villa, Busquets and Alves were in the top 10. Told you everything about how good this team was

This iniesta was so quick omg 😨

What a team, Puyol, Pique, and Alves covered the defense, the midfield (Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets) was outstanding, and Messi such a great hard working youngster, great ball hunting, chasing, passing, and scoring. They never stopped attacking, what a fantastic display.

My dear God, this is another level. So good, so fluid, so beautiful, so smooth, so fast. I have tears in my eyes everytime i watch the way they played football.

Iniesta was something else as lwf. ❤️

Fact about barca. The scorer always goes to the assist for the celebration.

Damn this still looks so easy but no team till this day was ever able to reproduce it. It is the players and Pep. Once in a lifetime team! The best ever!

I forgot how sloppy Barca’s touches were. Pep didn’t just revolutionize the gameplay. He also revolutionized the players’ first touch.

El mejor equipo de la historia, no hay otro igual y posiblemente no habrá. Increíble, sublime

Pep is the goat of coaches

El Pep Team, el mejor equipo que he visto. Sin duda un equipazo. Hizo historia.

This version of Iniesta was very deadly. Look how easily he takes players on. OMG

This is called tikitaka, this is called football , beautiful & dangerous👌

For that time People were thinking the team setup was not that good But now we feel that at every position, a legend is present Guardiola did not bring legends into his team He simply created them

It will always be fun to watch footage of this team, especially Messi with Xavi and Iniesta

No one talks about how young Busquets was too good to be in the starting 11 His ball distribution and absorption of pressure is crazy. So underrated. Seeing some flashes of that with young Pedri

Este equipo, sus grandes jugadores y su gran tecnico me hicieron enamorar del fútbol ... es lo mejor que he visto y por mucho, eso fue un espectaculo fuera de serie

I swear at one point Pep was telling them to intentionally allow the opponents to attack at the start of away matches for 5-10 minutes, to give them false hope, then proceed to take over possession and dominate the match. He didn't only demoralize the opposing team, he demoralized the entire stadium of their supporters.

Iniestas ball control at 12:30 was UNREAL. Wow

the true epitome of football!!!! you couldnt say one player was well of on the bench they were all special and the way guardiola really linked their talents to create such a masterpiece in football is so beautiful !!! so so crazy he literally moved inesta to the left wing to create chances for the like of messi and eto'o what a beauty

Back when teams don't park the bus, now they do it in every game against barça

The thing about that barca was it gave every player the opportunity to shine and it became the platform for messi to be the best in the world without limiting him to being man marked...iniesta xavi eto...they all damaged you that's why barca only showed signs of that glory again with neymar and suarez when messi had his space

Messi the GOAT

Showed who's boss in Spain. Showed who's boss in Germany. Shows who's boss in England. The one and only Pep Guardiola 🔥

This was Iniesta's match

Cuando Xavi Iniesta y Messi te volvían loco..

Messi legend, Iniesta legend, Xavi legend.

Thanks Pep! The football of Pep is incredible, so fast and beatiful!!! It is a pleasure for the eyes. Also if you don't win, you enjoy a lot the match without thinking about the final result.

It still sends shivers down my spine when I hear Michael Robinson say around the 4:38 minute mark of this video "Barcelona is moving the ball so fast, it may look easy but you can't imagine how difficult it is to do that". Who would have told him and all of us that that was going to be the beginning of it all. RIP Sir Robinson!

Barcelona played like a legendary playing against a beginner

Messi the king

Did anyone touch the ball when it was in Iniestas feet...simply outstanding My jaw dropped simply by watching Iniesta ...people nowadays comparing gavi and pedri with the likes of him by just watching just one dribble or one Swift pass but Iniesta Xavi Busquets messi can only be them..let those kids play their game and say that he will be the next gavi or pedri

Its just repeating rn. Xavi era♥️ he had so much bad games when at beginning. Lost to small teams people had doubts. Then in elclasico barca lost but showed who they are they played so well and put a tough fight. Rn, won last four matches scoring 4 goals each match😄 hope this continues and win big trophies

Porque este superequipo no gano un montón de champions no me explico con el fútbol que practicaba era para ganar unas cinco champions seguidas creo que no se aprovechó al cien el talento de estos jugadores irrepetibles simplemente el mejor equipo de fútbol en la historia difícil será volver a ver otro equipo como este era una máquina de jugar al fútbol

12:28 Madre Mía Iniesta 👏👏

OMG every Barca player at their best..especially iniesta and xavi

The Midfield : Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mama mia .... out of this world, the best ever , period.

I can’t believe Barca used to play like this.... my my how the mighty Barca had fell

Dios mio... Que manera de jugar. Parece tan facil

Man the energy and intensity was mad. That’s really something that’s rare to come by when watching Barca today...

Miss the golden era of football when Barca ruled the football......

Que bestialidad de equipo. Que recital, que meneo. Pum Pam Pum Pam, baile.

Q tiempos más lindos. Maravilloso equipo que disfrutaron todos los aficionados al fútbol.

Carles puyol y rafa mrquez que dupla

And, as they often say, the Rest is History. 🙌🙌🙌

As Pep says, “people say this guy is like Messi…never possible, he’s the best ever”

In the name of The Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Goat, Messi, Amen.

I wish Barca games were like this still...

This lad Iniesta looks promising . I'm sure he'll win everything one day .

After these few games none of them knew that what's coming in the future yrs for them❤️

Esse time era uma sinfonia. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta e Cia, esse time marcou época.

What stands out here is how quickly the ball is got back after it's been lost. Absolutely amazing, each players confidence in their own ability

Messi❤️Iniesta❤️Xavi❤️

What a gift-- to be able to watch the turning point of this team due to Guardiola's coaching. So beautiful!!!

Como olvidar cuando todo cambió hacia la gloria eterna ❤️💙❤️💙te amo FCB❤️💙❤️💙

Xavi and iniesta...my goodness 🙌🙏🙏

el control de Iniesta en el 5:25, mostro!!!

Vi ese partido, y jamas en mi vida habia visto ni he vuelto a ver una superioridad como esa, os juro que me pegaba a la pantalla flipando.

What an incredible player Iniesta was

Iniesta on left side was a different sauce.

Emotion sequence !! We are witnessing here no more and no less than the very first moments / beginnings of the birth of Barça de Guardiola at the start of the 2008/2009 season !!! 1 defeat, 1 nul, to start before launching the inexorable war machine against Sporting Gijon which can boast of having had the privilege, the great honor of being the first team to suffer the wrath of the Catalan ogre, made in Tiki-Taka, then just in gestation ...! After this Barça 1-6 victory away, nothing will be the same !! The history of this discipline will certainly know a before and an after what we see on this video! The game played and the goals scored against Gijon is just delirium! We had never seen that! It did not bode well for local as well as European competition ... including one in particular (follow my look) who was about to experience the worst years in its history! Useless to reveal his identity because the most basic modesty and decency urge us not to shoot an ambulance ...! A hearse, even, here, in this case! We will really be treated like never !! Thank you Barça !!!!! Magic !

This is the "football".

Ppl always said guardiola only can shine when given moneys to buy player he needs. But what about this barca team? Most of the stars is produced by him. Am i missing something?

They literally destroyed each nd every opponent at that time...one of the best teams of the history💛

Masive. The best team I have ever seen in my life.

Séquence émotion !! On assiste ici ni plus ni moins qu'aux tous premiers instants/balbutiements de la naissance du Barça de Guardiola à l'entame de la saison 2008/2009 !!! Deux défaites pour commencer avant de lancer l'inexorable machine de guerrre face au Sporting Gijon qui peut se targuer d'avoir eu le privilège, l'insigne honneur d'être la première équipe à subir les foudres de l'ogre catalan, made in Tiki-Taka, alors tout juste en gestation ...! Après cette victoire du Barça 1-6 à l'extérieur plus rien ne sera comme avant !! L'histoire de cette discipline connaîtra assurément un avant et un après ce qu'on voit sur cette vidéo ! Le jeu pratiqué ainsi que les buts inscrits face à Gijon c'est juste du délire ! On n'avait jamais vu ça ! Ça n'annonçait rien de bon pour la concurrence locale ainsi qu'européenne...dont un en particulier (suivez mon regard) qui s'apprêtait à vivre les pires années de son histoire ! Inutile de dévoiler son identité car la pudeur et la décence les plus élémentaires nous exhortent à ne pas tirer sur une ambulance ...! Un corbillard, même, ici, en l'occurrence ! On se sera vraiment régalé comme jamais !! Magique !

XAVI, INIESTA Y MESSI...El mejor tridente de la historia... que tiempos aquellos donde Guardiola le sacaba lustre a sus jugadores y daban hasta el limite.. con velocidad y sus toques rapidos e ingeniosos...

Como regatea iniesta por la bandaaaaaa por diossssss🔥🔥🔥🔥

Danm Xavi and Iniesta are irreplaceable

Macho dan ganas de llorar. Arrancaba todo...........

proud to be at the same wave of time with this team.

Estos juntos jugaban a otra cosa que estilo y precisión única fcb te amo 😍👊

Iniesta amazing!!!

Inesta was a savage!!

I miss this Barca Team! Deam this era of Barca was something else!!!

What a game. All the greats secured goals cementing to what to come games & years ahead. Incredible Pep.

El mejor equipo de la historia

4:28 El primer comentario sobre la velocidad en el juego del Dream Team de Guardiola. El primero de más de una década de comentarios sobre el Tiki-Taka. Historia y oro puro este video.

Que nostalgia🥺🥺 tenían mucha química hambre de títulos.....ya no queda sino esperar q leo se vaya y FIN se acabó todo

Total football at its best. Forward, midfield, left back, right back interchange thier positions, passing and tikitaka. Best team ever.

Watching this now makes me cry.

Yo todavía me pregunto como pueden comparar a este equipo con otro en la historia titulos aparte, el pep team era una gozada verlos jugar cada semana...

I feel I am dreaming by watching this. Even the Barca players don't seem to fully know what really was starting in them - a new era, a progress, and glory.

I love guardiola and his tiki taka

13:30 El baile entre Messi e Iniesta...qué obra maestra...

En ese momento Real Madrid sintió el verdadero terror

Jesus man how good was iniesta. Playing as a winger and succeding not by speed but sheer skill

LOVE THE MAGICIAN MESSI FOREVER 💕⚽️⭐️

Absolutely breathtaking football. Visca Barca

Y pensar que Pep le saco el 100% de potencial a estos cracks Cruyfismo 100% en su máximo esplendor

Rafa Marquez 🇲🇽💪

That midfield passion was undoubtable🔥🔥

Secuencia de la emoción !! ¡Estamos presenciando aquí nada más y nada menos que los primeros momentos / comienzos del nacimiento del Barça de Guardiola al comienzo de la temporada 2008/2009! Dos derrotas para comenzar antes de lanzar la inexorable máquina de guerra contra Sporting Gijón que puede presumir de haber tenido el privilegio, el gran honor de ser el primer equipo en sufrir la ira del ogro catalán, hecho en Tiki-Taka, entonces justo en gestación ...! ¡Después de esta victoria del Barça 1-6, nada será igual! ¡La historia de esta disciplina seguramente sabrá un antes y un después de lo que vemos en este video! ¡El juego jugado y los goles marcados contra Gijón son solo delirio! ¡Nunca habíamos visto eso! No fue un buen augurio para la competencia local y europea ... ¡incluida una en particular (sigue mi aspecto) que estaba a punto de experimentar los peores años de su historia! ¡Inútil revelar su identidad porque la modestia y la decencia más básicas nos instan a no disparar a una ambulancia ...! ¡Un coche fúnebre, incluso, aquí, en este caso! ¡Realmente seremos tratados como nunca! Mágico !

Is Michael Laudrup talking ? Whoever he is, the guy with a slight accent is saying some fine things about the collective skills it requires (something like "even a team with good players wouldn't make the ball move that fast without losing it") If it's Laudrup, it would be awesome given he's a legend. If one man knows something about passing skills, that's him
