  • It was a match that had everything – the Champions League Final in 2009 between Barcelona and Manchester United: two of the biggest clubs in the world, playing the best football, facing off in the final; Guardiola v Ferguson; the young pretender v the seasoned veteran; Messi v Ronaldo. It was a mouth-watering prospect.

    In the end though, it was a match up that did not live up to its billing – at least not for United fans – as Barcelona dismantled their opponents with a mesmerising display of possession football. It was the day that Guardiola showed the world just how good a coach he had become. A match that secured him and Barcelona a treble in his first season and showed that he had taken the Cruyffian principles he had leant as a player in the 90s and evolved them into a devastating new style of play.

    In this episode Marcus Speller and Jonathan Wilson are joined by Miguel Delaney (Chief Football Writer at The Independent) to discuss the 2009 Champions League Final between Barcelona and Manchester United.

  • The first episode in a new six-part football series that explores how the evolution of today’s beautiful game began at Barcelona 25 years ago with the pioneering ideas of Johan Cruyff, and was then taken on by the likes of Louis Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola.

    In January 2018 Liverpool played host to Manchester City in a match that upset a remarkable winning run. Klopp – so often Kryptonite to Guardiola teams – had done it again.

Marcus Speller and Jonathan Wilson are joined by Jack Pitt-Brooke (The Independent) to discuss this extraordinary match, a ground-breaking City team and the lessons from the past.
