FC Barcelona and Gatorade have teamed up to launch a mini-documentary movie that takes you behind the scenes of the treble-winning 2014-15 campaign for the Spanish club. The club worked with the sports drink company and the Gatorade Sports Science Institute to create personalized nutrition and fueling plans for each player -- from Lionel Messi to Claudio Bravo.

The video, called "Mes Que Un Triple," launched recently on Gatorade's YouTube channel, showing never-before-seen footage of Messi, while taking fans on the journey through Barca's stellar campaign. The video is narrated by former Barca defender Belletti.

From Gatorade:

The Gatorade Sport Science Institute worked side-by-side with FC Barcelona's training staff to test the first-team by measuring sweat rates, sweat composition and to determine how individual players' burn fat vs. carbohydrate.

Check it out.

What a year it was for Barcelona, with Gatorade lending a helping hand. Now I'm thirsty.
