He has won it already - first season and all. First season he did a Spanish treble, for the first time in history. He is also the youngest manager to have won the CL. Next year he lost to Inter under Mourinho, who is debatably the best manager in the world. Sure, he gets it wrong once in a while, but his playing style is excellent when it comes to getting the best out of the players he's got.
Tbh, except Valdez, he has one ( at least) world class footballer in every position. Xavi is god of football, Messi is Messi, and Villa is so clinical ( before Villa, Eto'o). It would be suprise for me if he didnt won treble. Winning treble first season is great, but he had it all, world class players, no injuries and no competition in Primera. This Barcelona with Xavi, Iniesta and Messi is the best football team ever!
Both Arsenal and Barcelona have been playing this kind of football for years.
I think the term 'tiki-taka' only came in after Guardiola, though, but I'm not sure.
Thats some statement to make, and just like to point out, Rijark, didnt win the treble, with Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi and Eto...

Perfect, to most people is just "the beautiful game". And for me barca (and even arsenal, and bayern under Van Gaal) represent that. Nobody wants to watch route 1 stoke.Except there is no 'perfect' way of playing football. It's like playing rock/paper/scissors. There is always some way of countering another.

Sigh, looks like I have to specifiy more. When you take your team out of the equation, and watch as a neutral. You want to watch barca/arsenal/bayern etc. You don't want to watch a route 1 team. It's just boring.Actually, you where talking about the "perfect" way to play... Which is too your stregthens surely.
Whatever,I know im right.
Just like to add the definition of football is to kick a ball with your foot.So "football" was around before ye made it a sport.Thats all im saying.
Liverpool played this football in the 80's thats where it started
