How the Catalan born-and-bred coach led his team to the historic treble triumph.Barcelona took a huge gamble in hiring the 38-year-old Pep Guardiola last season to restore the club's fortunes after two years without any silverware under Franck Rijkaard.
But the club's former captain, a Catalan born-and-bred, has come up trumps in his debut season, surpassing all expectations as Barcelona won the Spanish league, Kings Cup and Champions League treble.
The stunning 2-0 win over Manchester United in Rome last Wednesday also means he has joined the illustrious club of men to win the Champions League as a player and manager, after taking what was then the European Cup in 1992 with Barca.
"We're very, very happy, we're delirious and I'd like to congratulate the whole club,” said Guardiola, who became the youngest ever Champions League winning coach.
"We're not the best team in history but we have played the best season in history. To win three titles, and how we did it."
