More recently, the organization of football teams and their performance have been unveiled using metrics coming from Network Science, where a team is considered as a complex network whose nodes (i.e., players) interact with the aim of overcoming the opponent network. Here, we combine the use of diferent network metrics to extract the particular signature of the F.C. Barcelona coached by Guardiola, which has been considered one of the best teams along football history. We have frst compared the network organization of Guardiola’s team with their opponents along one season of the Spanish national league, identifying those metrics with statistically signifcant diferences and relating them with the Guardiola’s game. Next, we have focused on the temporal nature of football passing networks and calculated the evolution of all network properties along a match, instead of considering their average. In this way, we are able to identify those network metrics that enhance the probability of scoring/receiving a goal, showing that not all teams behave in the same way and how the organization Guardiola’s F.C.

They beat Club Atlético de Madrid 5-1 over two legs to claim the 1973/74 European Champion Clubs' Cup, and then beat Valencia CF 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the 2000/01 UEFA Champions League final in Milan. • Getafe by contrast are up against German opposition for the first time. • Rubén De La Red can at least claim to have seen the inside of the Fußball Arena München before, having been an unused substitute as Real Madrid CF lost 2-1 in the second leg of last season's UEFA Champions League first knockout round. His side lost on away goals with the aggregate score 4-4. • Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has never won the UEFA Cup before, although he has twice triumphed in the UEFA Champions League – with BV Borussia Dortmund in 1996/97 and in his first spell with Bayern in 2000/01.
