As in nine out of the last ten seasons<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Barcelona#Recent_seasons en.wikipedia.org: FC Barcelona on [[30 May]] [[2008]]]</ref>, FC Barcelona is going to be present in all major competitions. [[La Liga 2008-09|First division]] and [[Copa del Rey 2008-09|Copa del Rey]] in [[Spain]] and [[UEFA Champions League 2008-09|UEFA Champions League]] in [[Europe]]. Also, [[Copa Catalunya Finals|Copa Catalunya]] in Barça's native [[Autonomous Community|autonomous community]] of [[Catalonia]], but, usually, Barcelona mostly uses [[FC Barcelona B]]'s players in this competition.<br />

In 2008–09, FC Barcelona started a new era with a new manager, former captain and Barcelona B coach Pep Guardiola, who led the team to the first treble in Spanish football history. After selling off high-profiled players such as Deco and Ronaldinho, Barcelona played scintillating football throughout the season, winning the Copa del Rey, La Liga, and the UEFA Champions League. This team is widely regarded as one of the greatest teams in football history.
