Rijkaard's team had the likes of Belletti, Edmilson, Rafa Marquez, Ronaldinho and Larsson. Pep's was very different, tactically as well as the personnel.
People can say what they like about him having luxuries and maybe achieving less than he should in terms of the CL but his services to the sport in general have been great. He's been a major driving force behind the way the game is played now (by a fair few clubs), which is light years ahead of where it was, say, 20 years ago.
