Guardiola's last year at Barcelona was tough.

What started out as a blissful love affair ended up becoming a living hell, the rift between players and coach growing deep. Some players stopped taking care of themselves and the coach reproached them for it.

When Pep gave a speech having been awarded the Gold Medal by the Barcelona City Hall, he omitted to mention the names of the players, something that never well in his dressing room. Mistrust soon spread within the team and Pep lost his temper with his men during the half-time break in the match against Betis, just prior to the cup final against Athletic Bilbao. That's when things turned sour.

Although this is all water under the bridge, there are still some open wounds. There is a strong desire among the players to show that whilst Pep won trophies, it was the team he had at his disposal that made it possible. Just as they did in Tito's first season as manager, when Barça won La Liga by amassing over 100 points and breaking Guardiola's record in the process.
