FC Barcelona and Spain are both were blessed with one of the best spells in their respective histories – winning trophy after trophy. It’s not a coincidence that both these teams call on the services of what is dubbed as the best midfield pairing in all of world football, Xavi & Iniesta.

Chelsea

Champions League

semi-finals

Stamford Bridge

Athletic Bilbao

 4–1 to win the Copa del Rey for a record 25th time.

2009 Supercopa de España
