A style of play based on short passing, movement, and retaining possession. Associated with Pep Guardiola's Barcelona (2008-2012) and Spain's World Cup and Euro wins. At its best, it looks like the ball is on a string. At its worst (or in lesser hands), it looks like passing sideways for ninety minutes while nothing happens.
"Thirty-seven passes in the build-up to that goal. Tiki-taka at its finest."
