From goal kick situations, the two centre-backs would split, like we see with virtually every team that plays out from the back, and Busquets would come in the gap between them to show for the ball. The Spaniard would always come really deep to collect the ball from the two centre-backs and drive forward and look for an offensive pass. Their link-up play with Messi and Neymar made it near-impossible for the opposition to deal with at times. At the time, Barca had two of the best attacking full-backs in world football so their overlaps were crucial to allow the team more space with the ball. The roles of Dani Alves on the right and Jordi Alba on the left cannot be understated as well. Neymar and Messi often dropped deep to collect the ball because they couldn't get enough of it. Barcelona under the likes of Guardiola would keep the ball at all times to try and tire out the opponent and then let the attacking players pounce when the opportunity presented itself. Enrique's plan was clear: get the ball to one of these three as soon as possible, let them produce the magic. Iniesta's role was to keep the ball ticking over; one that his former teammate Xavi did so successfully for years at the Nou Camp. Barcelona would operate with a 4-3-3 formation, something that has been drilled into the club at all ages for as long as one can remember. Give the ball to your best players and let them win the game. Get Barcelona playing the best football once again while being successful in doing so and standing out from what we saw at the Nou Camp under Guardiola.

He could play as a withdrawn, central No 9 in the style of Kai Havertz. Napoli's Victor Osimhen is the dream ticket but Sportsmail understands Chelsea want to sell a few players first before looking at his price tag. Enrique would have a decision to make regarding his goalkeeper, though, with both Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga receiving criticism this season.
