“Most of the teams that have been successful against Barca have done so with a very organised and disciplined defence. Inter and Chelsea have beaten Barca in the Champions League, as have Madrid in La Liga last season,” the Dutchman recalled.

However, Frank Rijkaard commented that the "Mourinho-style achievement medicine" when at Chelsea, if applied regularly against Barcelona, would be effective once in 10 times, because for the red and blue team, there is no medicine that has long-term value.
Frank Rijkaard led Barcelona from 2003 to 2008, helping the team win the La Liga title twice and the Champions League in 2006. His success is also considered the foundation for Pep Guardiola to create a great Barcelona after taking over the coaching position. It was Rijkaard who brought Messi to the first team, before the Argentine star became a world-class player.
