Watch the whole Champions League Final against Manchester United all over again!

27 May 2009 was a historic date for FC Barcelona. Coached at the time by Pep Guardiola, the club had already won the league and cup and completed a historic treble by beating Manchester United in Rome with goals from Samuel Eto'o and Leo Messi.

Eto'o converted Iniesta’s assist early in the game, but it wasn’t until the 70th minute that things were secured by a Messi header, producing that iconic image of him celebrating with a boot, which had come off in the process, held in his hand.

There were three more trophies to come that year, both the Super Cups and Barça’s first ever Club World Cup – thus completing an unprecedented sextet!
