The 5-0 drubbing of Real Madrid, led by philosophical rival Jose Mourinho, was an emphatic statement of dominance and superiority.
Guardiola's Barcelona displayed a sleek style of football with the midfield brilliance of Iniesta and Xavi, and the attacking excellence of Lionel Messi and David Villa.

#1 Barcelona 1-1 Chelsea | UEFA Champions League Semi-Finals, 2008-09
Barcelona's victory over Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final was one of the most thrilling and tightest of finishes that not even Guardiola could have claimed to have masterminded. The match was a combination of fate, luck and tactical mastery.
The second leg at Stamford Bridge had everything to play for as a goalless first leg at Camp Nou meant the winner would take it all on the night.
A star-studded Chelsea with the likes of Michael Ballack, Michael Essien, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard, were a premier force looking for their first-ever Champions League crown.
A Michael Essien scorcher gave Chelsea the lead under 10 minutes, with Barcelona throwing it all at their opponents with impeccable ball retention and pressure.
With a red card given to Eric Abidal, all hope seemed lost for Guardiola's Barcelona as Chelsea's resilient defense would not budge an inch.
That was until Messi found Iniesta on the edge of the box, who proceeded to launch a screamer into the top corner to send them through on away goals.
The game has gone down in infamy because of the controversial standard of refereeing, with Chelsea denied over three valid penalty shouts.
However, the resilience and spirit shown by Guardiola's Barcelona shone bright at the death and powered them on to their first Champions League under his reign.
