Quote
Rather than just let his Barça wither away, rather than face the prospect of their philosophy being overcome, rather than risk the intervention of random events, Guardiola sought to stave off the entropic imperative by exaggerating what had made Barça great, by holding possession even longer, by getting even more men forward. It was failure, but at least it was failure on his terms.
— Jonathan Wilson on Barcelona’s decline
