fresh young midfielders like ivan rakitic and the same core of spanish players that dominated international football for over half a decade and still had unmatched passing in ball movement and in between those years barcelona was still an amazing team dominating europe and their domestic leagues as well as commanding fear throughout any club they challenged overall they had the best offensive lineup in the world in each of those years and not many teams came close during those times not only did they have a stacked offense but their midfield was also the most commanding for nearly a decade barcelona would overwhelm their opponents with their passing and overall possession barely giving their opponents any time to set up for their own attack as well an example of this can be easily seen in the NUMBER_TOKEN champions league final against man united where they had an overwhelming NUMBER_TOKEN possession compared to united's NUMBER_TOKEN and an insane NUMBER_TOKEN shots versus NUMBER_TOKEN which is almost NUMBER_TOKEN times more giving you an idea of just how much in command the squad had of their games at the time along with that their defense has always been solid although it wasn't the best it didn't need to be as they wouldn't have to worry about playing a defensive game when their midfield and offense did most of the work not to mention their squad had amazing chemistry as a majority of them for the most part were all spanish players who absolutely dominated the world football from NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN statistically being the most impressive international dynasty in football history meaning that barcelona was already guaranteed to have success seeing as their core players already worked extremely well together and found success independent of their club for example javi and iniesta some of the greatest midfielders ever were with the club the entire run in longer and messi has never gotten close to winning a champions league without either one of them so for all of you saying that messi is the only player they need that's definitely not true you can't just keep on relying on messi to save the team no matter how good he is football is a team sport and is widely determined by how good the team plays chemistry is also one of those immeasurable factors that helped barcelona do so well back then as their offense midfield and defense consisted mainly of long time players who knew how to play with each other and knew what each other's playstyles were like it's the difference from seeing someone make a run and giving them a good pass or passing a ball to an open space and knowing that someone will be there to get it having the confidence that your teammate knows what move you're gonna make and vice versa and because barcelona's core had always remained relatively the same throughout the years they part two the downfall but before we continue NUMBER_TOKEN of you are watching right now but still aren't subscribed so if you're enjoying don't forget to leave a like and subscribe to support the channel and hopefully help me make these videos full time but anyways in the NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN season during the louise enrique era barcelona remained relatively successful winning the league the copa del rey the uefa super cup and the fifa club world cup their msn trio was still dominant scoring goal after goal but with a departure of chavi their midfield had changed significantly as they wouldn't win the super cup or get past the champions league quarter final they'd continue to see this slight
