Barça - The Year of Living Gloriously

FC Barcelona made history in 2009 winning every prize in club football, Champions League, Spanish League & Cup - first ever winners of that coveted 'treble' - then won both Spanish & European Super Cups before rounding off the year by becoming World Club Champions. They did it in style, scoring goals for fun, playing attractive football and entertaining millions worldwide thanks to superstars like Xavi, Iniesta, Henry and the peerless Leo Messi. Yet at the start of their record-breaking run with five first team players departed and a new and untested manager in place little was expected of them. This is the story of their unforgettable journey, from pre-season tours, through their amazing 6-2 destruction of arch-rivals Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, on to their historic victory over Manchester United in Rome' and ultimately to Abu Dhabi where they lifted the global crown. This unique historical adventure is the first ever dedicated English language account of Barcelona's greatest season.
