The 2010-11 campaign was a definitive season for Pep Guardiola's FC Barcelona, as the Blaugrana conquered La Liga and clinched their fourth UEFA Champions League title with a dominant 3-1 victory over Manchester United in the Wembley final. Spearheading this historic triumph was the phenomenal Lionel Messi, whose 31 league goals (and 53 total) proved decisive in a season that also saw him win the Ballon d'Or ahead of teammates Xavi and Andrés Iniesta. The team was universally celebrated for its mastery of the 'tiki-taka' style, highlighted by an emphatic 5-0 thrashing of rivals Real Madrid in the Clásico, cementing this era as one of the greatest in football history.
