Everyone talks about Barcelona as the true unstoppable team in Europe with their goal hammering and their flow. The Blaugrana humbled teams like Real Madrid and Sevilla in the Primera Liga and disgraced Beckenbauer’s Bayern Munich and French champions Lyon on their way through to the Champions League semis. Will Chelsea be Barcelona’s next casualty?

Untouchable flying Barcelona?

It seems like Barcelona have found the secret key to unlock the den of goals. Pep Guardiola is on his way to creating the greatest Barcelona side. Clinching a couple of trophy this season will ultimately elevate this Barcelona squad as the greatest of all time, and to do that, the Catalans will need to overpower Guus Hiddink’s Blues to reach the final before they can fancy their chances of winning the European title.

Guardiola is well aware of the impact that trophies have on the success of a team, and he underlined his opinion when Marca interviewed him after Barcelona’s league game against Getafe last week:
“The record that matters is winning titles, one has to win something and we are heading towards that. That is what motivates me to come here and play,”

Barcelona’s legendary captain Pep Guardiola is enjoying the best of luck at the moment and his side’s remarkable success is also a result of a high winning mentality added to his attacking flair philosophy which has influenced the players’ performance. Barcelona’s number one safeguard doesn’t come from their almost-perfect-style of play but from the humbleness of their coach Pep Guardiola. The 38-year-old Gitano prefers to avoid being carried away by his team’s explosive results and rather wants to go match by match and keep his feet on the ground.

“Since I have been in charge there has not been a game that we have not taken seriously. The team was well and fresh, therefore I decided not to make any changes,” the coach explain.

“We have come here after a hard game in Munich and we have played a great first-half. The second-half was not so good, but they did not get in our area. We will keep going in all competitions.
