Barça's record in the last decade is spectacular. If we only look at the Copa del Rey results, it turns out that the blaugrana team has reached the competition's semi-finals 9 times out of 10 years. The only one they missed was in the 2009/10 season with Pep Guardiola on the bench, during which the team got knocked out with dignity in Sevilla after a show from the goalkeeper Palop.
During that time, Barça have been able to clinch the title in 3 occasions (2009, 2011 and 2015) displaying the competitive mentality of the team that always tries to win every title. Moreover, if we look at Luis Enrique's result, it is hardly possible to do better: 7 two-legged ties and no elimination, 14 wins and only 1 draw against Villanovense, 51 goals for and 10 against. If we add the Champion's League, Luis Enrique went thorough the 10 two-legged ties he had to play on the bench.
During that prestigious decade marked by Messi's omnipresence, Barça have succeded in getting 8 times to the Champion's League semi-finals. In terms of titles, it makes 6 La Liga, 4 Champion's League 3 Copa del Rey and 3 FIFA Clubs' world cup titles. All of that with 5 different managers (Rijkaard, Guardiola, Tito Vilanova, Tata Martino and Luis Enrique) and 3 presidents (Laporte, Rosell and Bartomeu).
