In 2008–09, Futbol Club Barcelona started a new era with a new manager, former player and FC Barcelona Atlètic manager Josep Guardiola, who led the team to the first Treble in Spanish football history. After selling off high-profiled players such as Deco and Ronaldinho, Barcelona played brilliant football throughout the season, winning the Copa del Rey, La Liga, and the UEFA Champions League, due to a large contribution from its canterano players from La Masia. Guardiola adopted a modern day equivalent of Total Football and led the team to one of the best seasons ever had in European football.
