this is the team which lost to Man United in the CL semifinals in 2008 and which Guardiola then effectively inherited from Rijkard:
Valdes in goal
Puyol, Milito, Abidal, Marquez, Sylvinho and Zambrotta in defense
Iniesta, Xavi, Yaya Toure, Ronaldinho and Deco in midfield
Messi, Eto'o, Henry and Bojan in attack
yeah, what a terrible team, that really needed A LOT of rebuilding
in all seriousness, this has become Guardiolas MO. He took over Bayern right after they won the treble with Heynckes, now he again chooses the team where he has the least work ahead of him. I can't hold that against him, it's understandable really. But let's not pretend Guardiola is a team builder because he really isn't.
