Take the Ball, Pass the Ball is the definitive story of the greatest football team ever assembled. For four explosive years, Pep Guardiola's Barça produced the greatest football in history, seducing fans around the world. In this exclusive, first-hand account of events between 2008 and 2012, the players themselves reveal the tension of the bitter Guardiola-Mourinho rivalry, the emotion of Abidal's fight back from cancer to lift the European Cup and how Messi, the best footballer the world's ever seen, was almost rejected by Barça as a 13-year-old.

and the only thing i can say is ALHAMDULLILAH....
barcelona ur so much more than a club ur a life... no joke. to seeing the old generation and being able to visualize what theyre saying by just remembering the way our current youngsters play actually made me tear up like what a way to prove it.. our history is our future but also hearing how this was created.. BLESS EVERYONES SOUL.
Taking this with me for every moment. Our philosophy compared to other clubs actually had me and kinda makes our misery seem lowkey okay now (xavi we love you more than we ever hated losing 🥹) like yes we lost but never who we really were..Thank u emmachi for the recommendation I LOVED IT .. most likely thing for me to do. but ur too much of a blessing
