"There's no denying that Pep Guardiola's Barcelona side of the late 2000s and early 2010s was one of the greatest of the modern era. As well as the silverware - three La Liga titles, two Copa del Reys and two Champions Leagues among other gongs - the team's style of play, influence and legacy mean that Guardiola's team's place in the history books is secure forever."
"It's hard to compare, Laudrup tells FourFourTwo when asked how the two trios compare, before assessing Barca's other recent strong sides. I've also been asked to rank our team against other Barcelona sides I think the teams of Frank Rijkaard and Luis Enrique were stronger than ours, he continues."
"Pep Guardiola's Barca was one of the best teams ever. But our team had something the others didn't we were the first to win the European Cup."
Pep Guardiola's Barcelona achieved exceptional success in the late 2000s and early 2010s, winning multiple La Liga titles, Copa del Reys, and Champions Leagues while reshaping modern football through style and influence. Johan Cruyff's early 1990s Dream Team established a new standard and laid the intellectual and tactical groundwork for later successes. Michael Laudrup, part of Cruyff's side, noted the difficulty of direct comparisons and highlighted that Frank Rijkaard's and Luis Enrique's teams could be seen as stronger. Laudrup emphasized contextual importance and the unique distinction of being the first Barcelona team to win the European Cup.
