The 09/10 season saw the arrival of iconic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Camp Nou. The Swede arrived on a swap deal from Inter Milan, with both Samuel Eto'o AND €46 million going to the San Siro in return. Although failing to defend their Champions League title, Barça did win La Liga, the FIFA World Club Cup, the UEFA Supercup and the Spanish Supercup under the continued guidance of manager Pep Guardiola. Meanwhile a then 22-year old Leo Messi scored an incredible 47 goals in 53 appearances for the club, setting a new record for himself. In the same season, his longtime nemesis Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut for Real Madrid, thus marking the beginning of their incredible 9 season rivalry in La Liga.
