2008-20 were the best years in our history.
Barça delighted the world with their football. From the season 2008/09
under Josep Guardiola, the team improved even further. Playing with the
same style that Cruyff had introduced, Guardiola was a firm supporter of
basing his team around the club's own youth system and promoted several
young talents to the first team, and the result was the greatest Barça
team ever. The greatest international recognition of this came when the
FIFA Ballon d'Or nominations in 2010 shortlisted Xavi, Iniesta and Messi
for the honour, all three of whom had grown up at La Masia, the residence
where young sports-people of all ages are trained and educated.
Legendary players came from La Masia and changed
the game.
