The 2008-09 campaign delivered a spectacular, historic treble for Barcelona as the Blaugrana, under the revolutionary guidance of new manager Pep Guardiola, conquered La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League. Leading the charge was the prolific striker Samuel Eto'o, whose 30 La Liga goals proved decisive in a campaign built on the relentless tiki-taka philosophy and the breathtaking genius of a world-class attack featuring Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, the emerging superstar Lionel Messi, and Thierry Henry. It was a golden year that marked the true start of a football dynasty and remains one of the most iconic seasons in the club's and sport's history.
