Pep Guardiola last won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2011. This is the story of the journey to that title. A journey that along the way meets a transition of squad, a Catalan core, injuries and life-threatening illness, four of the hottest El Clasico encounters, and reaches a finale at a location steeped in Total Football history.

I still remember that barcelona vs manchester united 2011 final so well. I was a 20 year old manchester united fan at the time without too much knowledge of the spanish league. I knew Barcelona were good, but Manchester United that season were also extremely solid. Needless to say, I don't recall ever seeing manchester united that outclassed before. Prior to that game, I knew that no matter how much manchester united was down, I always knew there was a chance to tie up the game and maybe even win. This game vs barcelona was I think the first game where it seemed like even hope was out of reach. It was eye opening and I just remember leaving the bar after the game being totally shocked at not losing the game, but the manner in which the game was lost.
