Rijkaard had 5 seasons, Lucho 3. Frank was given more time and wasn't under same pressure as Lucho either. Frank build more for the future though.

Both will remain in fond memories.

But before Rijkaard we were nowhere the elite as we were during Lucho. Rijkaard laid the foundation for our present greatness

That's wrong. Could seem that way if you only look at trophies. Barca played best football in the world under Cruyff, had the best team under Robson, only few years afterwards played some of the best football under Van Gaal. Then there was a black hole of 5 years of turmoil much because of Gaspart.

We were always up there with the best and I enjoyed Barca football under all those coaches.

I didn't say we never played great football or didn't have good teams before. But the success Rijkaard got us laid foundation for our present aura where we are the first destination for the best players

Actually Van Gaal laid foundations for Rijkaard.

You can't just pluck things out like that.

I'm not sure I agree that Lucho was under more pressure. I'm interested to hear why you think so, however.
