Both were players that started in the Barca youth system, were developed within Barca, and then became fixtures on both of the squads. Great work by Pep to give them a shot, but they probably force their way in with any coach.

Completely disagree.
Probably force their way in with any coach? Pique couldn't force his way into the United team.
And regarding this Spanish national team argument. If it was so straightforward as having members of the national team from that era =success where did Madrid go wrong?
After all they had a similar representation. Why didn't they dominate at the same level as Barca?
And the Bayern move. I'm not arguing against that. It's a headscratcher to me why he would go to the most boring one team league outside of Scotland.
My point is this. Lots of managers have had very good squads and failed. Look at Brazil. Madrid. He deserves credit for what he achieved at Barca. He dominated.
