Pep Guardiola's Barcelona reached 2011 at the peak of a cycle that began in 2008, based on ball possession, high pressure and players trained at La Masia, such as Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Piqué and Pedro. In the 2010-11 season, the team won the Spanish Championship for the third consecutive year with 96 points. In the Champions League, it eliminated Real Madrid in the semi-final and defeated Manchester United 3-1 in the final, at Wembley, with goals from Pedro, Messi and David Villa. Rooney scored for the English. The loss in the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, 1-0 in extra time, was the only setback in a decision that season. In August 2011, the team won the Spanish Super Cup over Real Madrid and the UEFA Super Cup over Porto. The year ended with the Club World Cup title, in Yokohama, with a 4-0 rout against Santos with Neymar and Ganso, with two goals from Messi, one from Xavi and another from Cesc Fabregas.
