Current Form and Key Players

As well as winning the Champions League last season, Barcelona also completed a domestic double after winning La Liga and the Copa Del Rey. They are sure to be another force to be reckoned with in the 2009/10 season.

The swapping of Samuel Eto'o and Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Inter in the summer is the only major difference to last years winning squad, although youngsters Bojan and Pedro will be a year older this time around. The team is built around the short passing and incredible movement of the players and none more so than trio Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi. Add to that the likes of Thierry Henry and Ibrahimovic they are certainly an irresistable force.
