Micah picked the wrong Bayern team. That 2013 team should've made the list. Destroyed Barcelona 7-0 when they were at their height still. Robben, Ribery, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Neuer. What a team that was.
pep wasnt the manager that year. him leaving had a big effect on them.
@@dc-yc5qh nah bro they had 100 pts in La liga even I had to accept that they got demolished
Definitely they destroyed tiki taka
That Barca team Bayern beat wasn’t mentally there after the passing of their coach
They were not at their height that season especially not at that stage of the season
The 2013 Bayern squad was one of the best ever, Robbery, Neuer, Müller, Kroos, Schweinsteiger and Lahm ... Jupp Heynckes coaching them.
Completly unstoppable in 2013
Well, it was great team. But Hansi Flick havent lost A SINGLE match during 2019/20 season. They won literally all possible cups and trophies they could win.
I tell you this: i have never seen so consistent team as Flick's Bayern.
@@krowaswieta7944 Oh pls dont try to compare the uncomparable xD
If we go down that lane we have to meet up in a pub, drink a few beers and THEN we can start the Bullshit talk xD
Thats not my level, both fantastic and great teams who won it all
@@vitanus Well, you see even 2013 Bayern had its downs and ups.
2019/20 Bayern was scoring more goals but 2012/13 was conceiving much less. Overall Flick's record of winning games is more impresive than Jupps from 12/13.
Robben and Ribery are probably quite a bit stronger than Gnabre and Coman. However, Lewa is much stronger than whoever Bayern's striker was then- Olic? Muller, Neuer and Boateng were still playing in 2019-2020. Kimmich is as good as Schweinsteiger in my opinion. Kroos is quite a bit stronger than Goretzka for now but Alaba is probably a bit better than Dante at CB but Davies has been phenomenal at LB (even compared to Alaba there). Lahm was a great, great player but Pavard also won a WC and a CL and turned up in the biggest games. For me, the midfield is definitely better with the 2012-2013 side due to Kroos but the attack and defence are much more even and might even swing slightly towards the 2019-2020 side. The fact that Bayern literally didn't lose a single game in 2019-2020 and played some of the best football we've seen in recent years deserves credit.
@@hc2155 U got clear vision dude
Zidane’s UCL 3peat with Real Madrid is underrated. That 2016-17 team especially dominated.
Crazyyyy they didnt mention it
@@milanista9470 they basically mentioned it with the 3 peat as a whole
That's what I would say as well. I am a Barcelona fan but in that 3-peat Real was the most dominant in 2016-2017 I think by far. If you remember 2016 not to not give them credit by any means but their draw was probably the easiest, they have ever had till the final, and in 2018 the way they beat Bayern wasn't the best as it was with quite a controversy as I think VAR was still not available, but that has happened for basically any football team ever. But when I think of the best team, I basically look at what weak spots a team have, and in that 2017 lineup you couldn't find a single weak spot, I think Juventus was the best defence in Europe at the time and they smashed them 4-1. Definitely in the top 5 of all time imo over the 2018 team.
Did this guy say underrated and Real Madrid in the same sentence?
😂 Ceferin was their best player
4 CLs in 5 years is the football equivalent to 90s chicago bulls. this is cemented in history, period.

Barca won 3 titles in 5 years almost same and we got 6 cups in a year which is a record and still.reached semi final in 2008 2010 2012 2013 2019
I don't know why people fail to mention that Madrid won 4 finals in 5. It's not just 3 in a row. I don't know, I feel like not mentioning that leaves a big hole in how great that team was.
He mentioned it
With the help of referees
Cuz its madrid fam. You guys are good. But at this point nobody really cares. Respectfully
@@danielromero6601 Say that without crying
Bc mentioning it puts messi's barca in a shadow of Cr7's real. It's also the same reason why the media acts like Spain treble wasn't a big deal, it was normal. Messi is not Spanish and see his barca teammates dominated the biggest stage without him hurt so many people. Some pundits even said on TV with no filter messi should have ditch Argentina for spain😂😂.
I think they missed out on AC Milan from 2002 to 2007. Three finals and two golds, also an amazing team with Pirlo, Schev, Kaka, Maldini etc.
Agree. I was expecting the 07 Milan team to be mentioned! They were on fire!
The Milan team from 2002 to 2007 never gets the recognition they deserve because of the 2005 final. Had they won that final everyone would say they were one of, if not the greatest team of all time.
@@specter1586 That is not a valid reason when you have teams like Man Utd 1999 and Bayern 2020 in the list. Three finals in five years with 2 wins is an excellent record, far better than any Manchester United team has ever managed in Europe. Over that period Milan were also narrowly beaten semi-finalists in 2006 and quarter finalists in 2004. They were the definition of European royalty and consistency for their era.
There best yr and team was 2005 which is quite ironic
@@pritapp788 They bottled against Deportivo in 2004. Same with Liverpool in 2005.
Bayern 2020 was so crazy, im a psg fan but this team won everything and won all games in the CL this season, Lewandowski missing the record because of the no-away-match cuz of covid, two football masterpiece ( 8/2 vs Barca, 7/2 against Tottenham), Chelsea demolition in 1/16
This was just an amazing team that crushed my dream of seeing psg win it and I have to give them credits for this
Bayern 2013 was insane too
In 2020 Bayern became the first team in the history of the Champions League to win every game up to and including the final. With Barca 2009 they are the only team that won everything in a year (sextuple). They HAVE to be up there. Actually the only CL team Messi has a bad record against.
Their run 2013 was impressive as well but stats wise 2020 you can't ignore.
The panel almost didn't care.
@@nilsonmr7723 that 2020 didn't face Madrid, Liverpool, Milan
@@juanfernandocastilla2845 True, but what that's supposed to mean? XD
I think that season Bayern were the best and they proved it enough. Not every team can face every team in CL...
Those teams you mentioned are great but every season you role the dice anew. Milan wasn't even in the group stage 2020. I'm not even a bayern supporter, just a football fan and a realist.
at least Micah had good choices 👌🏻
For me personally, the greatest i have ever seen, expect for guardiola's barcelona, is ac milan in 2005. The team they had was something absurd. Having player like maldini,nesta,pirlo,kakà,shevcenko,crespo,cafu,gattuso and many more was simply unbilivable. Such a shame that they lost the final against liverpool. Especially the way they lost, from 3-0 to 3-3, is what makes people forget this extraordinary team
Agreed 100%
That 2005 was the peak of Ancelotti Milan. 2003, when they won UCL was the start and 2007 when they last won it was the end of the era. From that period (5 years) they went to 3 finals but lost 1. Ironically, they lost it in 2005 when all the players were in their prime. Kaka was emerging while they still have Rui Costa. Sheva and Crespo upfront and still had Inzaghi on the bench. Not mentioning their defense rosters lead by Maldini. Unreal
No other team than Liverpool in history would have beaten them. Liverpool mentality is just different
They even had Seedorf and Dida
except Inter, we're just used to beating them@@headphoneman10
Can’t believe they left out Milan - maldini- cafu- nesta- gattuso- seedorf- dida - staam - shevchenko- kaka, inzaghi!!! That team dominated the world
But those are *VERY OLD* dida maldini cafu seedorf stam inzaghi. Only pirlo and kaka was at their prime
@@muhammadfarhan581 shevchenko and also nesta aswell actually. They had prime players on every part of the pitch
Rui Costa....
they did put in Milan the greatest Milan team the one from the mid 90s
And pes
Madrid won 3 in a row. Yes. But they also won 4 out of 5 years 🤣
Yes they just don't want to admit it's the best of all time. Completely solid team. They won 4 out 5 champions league.
@@franciscoflores9934 there were no teams in their level unlike other teams like barca
Yea but they never got to the level other teams played like. I’d take any of barcelona’s 2009,2011,2015 teams against those madrid teams every time. Different levels.
Madrid got lucky some teams started struggling in 2017-2018. The 2008-2014 era in soccer was extremely competitive and balanced.
@@user-oh4jd7ku2d of course you would. Folks like you make shit lists like this.
That Ajax team for 2 seasons 95-96 played some beautiful football. A team of young players who became world class. VanDerSaar, Danny Blind, Brazil 94 world cup winner Marcio Santos, Frank De Boer, the infamous Winston Borgarde, Ronald De Boer, Marc Overmars, Edgar Davids, Jari Litmanen, Patrick Kluivert, Kanu. This was a great attacking squad with solid defence.
Marcio Santos was a complete waste of money and hardly ever played for the club
The 1995 Ajax team, alongside Pep's Barca- by far the 2 best club sides of all time🏅🏆
A side so good, Rijkaard and Seedorf don't even get mentioned until now 😅
Pep's Barça was from another dimension, it was football in its most beautiful and elegant form. This team lost but what emotion! The art of Iniesta, the knowledge of xavi, the creativity of Messi, the power of Eto'o, the maturity of Thierry Henry, the precision of Daniel Alves, the passion of Puyol, the intelligence of Pique... Short
Dont forget henning Ovebro. This barca team should not even be in the final. Talking about domination. Puuuh

As a Barca fan, the most painful thing was seeing Madrid win 3 straight when we should have won more at our peak.
I agree.
The Real Madrid team that won 3 CL in a row won only 1 league title. Barcelona won 1 CL and 3-4 league titles during that same time.
@@manisshthakur621 quite bizarre when you think of it
The MSN trio should have won at least 2
Barca isn't as good bro, get over it
I remember watching that 2011 final. I had never seen Ferguson look so hopeless. It was remarkable.
That barca team was something else. if anything we should have done better in the 2009 final ( which barca shouldn't even have been in?) No shame what so ever losing to them they were the best ever hands down.
Mate that barca team was really unbelievable, I stood in front of the TV as I watch the game I knew we will not win, our players did their best, but they had Messi, simple as that aside from having a great squad they had Messi at his peak, no chance.
Even rooney told fergie to play defensive just shown how great that team was, but as a barca fan i respect fergie to stay on his philosophy until very end which is attacking football even they got humiated so bad
@@bajilucu7997 I Wouldn't call 3-1 humiliating considering we pulled it back to 1-1 and against that team who would beat any team. I agree though we should have sat back like inter did but buyern proved the best way to sink that team was all out attack. But this wasn't our best team either even though we played good football. We should have played better in 09 when we had ronaldo and tevez in the team but its all history now :)

That team was mad , barca 2009 was great team but people forget had VAR existed 2009 and 2011 they would’ve not won .
@@yahyaelmi8435cry
Exactly. As Henry was saying that it 08/09 Barca team was academy players so was that United treble team that was mainly homegrown players and academy players
That wasn’t even Utds best team
Ridiculous that they didn't mentioned the Ac Milan 2005 squad, I know they lost at penalties against Liverpool, but I think that was one of the most outstanding team i ever seen: Dida, Stam, Nesta, Maldini, Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso, Kaka, Shevchenko and Crespo. What a team!
Rui Costa on the bench 🤣
Because they lost that unfortunately they cant be one of the best UCL teams. You can be the best team, but you cant be the best ucl team when you dont actually win the competition. That is the sad truth: there is no place for runner ups:(.
Good to see Henry and Carragher both picking Ajax. I remember watching that final. Van der Sar, Reiziger, de Boer brothers, Litmanen, Davids, Seedorf, Overmars, Kluivert. Players who would have great careers at huge European clubs for the next 10-15 years. Insane team and so young at the time.
I agree. Micah reminds me of a football fan who only started watching 5 years ago.
@@jamiecook4288 He was at Aston Villa from 2015-19, only made 29 appearances and then retired so it makes sense

I’d say 2010/11 is the best club side ever. 2008/09, I think, showed the system of tiki-taka but 2010/11 showed it executed to perfection. What made it better was that I think the 08/09 team was actually better based on players. But 2010/11 was where they had the perfect players for the system and they had done their roles as well as they could have.
2008 09 barca is over rated. They faced the weakest gased out madrid that year. And plus that united was gased out 38 year old giggs scholes neveile 35 year old ferdidand. Image every singlw unkted player a 25 yearsold vs 24 year old barca
They may have been older players, but they still made 3 finals. Unfortunately, teams can only beat those around them.
@@Kurdt-zk4wt not just that, but they shouldn’t have even been in the 08/09 final. Only made it because of dodgy referee calls

Little story. So back in 1994 the World Cup came to the USA, but most of the games were shown on ESPN and ESPN2, which were cable channels. My dad noticed that both my brother and I loved playing soccer and wanted us to watch it so finally decided to make the move and ordered cable tv. After the World Cup ended, I still wanted to watch soccer but the only channels that had it were the same ESPN channels from before. Crazy enough, because ESPN were still somewhat “new”, they didn’t have many tv deals for sports and the only soccer league they had was the Dutch Eredivise. I would get off the school bus after elementary school and run from my bus stop to my house and turn it on. I always remember seeing this 1994-95 Ajax side destroying teams and became a young fan. Also, because of Ajax, I started watching Champions League for the first time. After seeing the coaches wearing the champions league ball patches, I decided that I wanted to be those coaches. So in the end, because of my dad ordering cable for the World Cup, I fell in love with the game, and followed my dream and goal of wearing the champions league ball patch and became a college/professional soccer coach. One day I’ll wear that patch on my sleeve. Thank you dad and thank you Ajax.
Cool story! I swear Netflix could turn this into a movie. Hope you'll get that patch one day!
Man I love your story. This is passion.
Thierry I love you, picking that 95 Ajax team! They were so young but sooooo good! Litmanen, Kluivert, de Boer, Davids, Seedorf and lots of other talents, combined with aged veterans like Blind and Rijkaard. What a team
Henry is so much more knowledgeable than the other two. The benefits of being well-travelled and having tested yourself in different countries and environments I guess
The spine of the Holland team for the next decade.
@@pritapp788 Carragher is the most knowledgeable of the three and it has nothing to do with their playing skills. It's Not Henry! Sorry to burst your bubble, Spitty C knows more about football hands down than any of the current 'pundits'. Micah Richards is one of the least knowledgeable I would say, but he is the heart beat of the show, makes the whole thing fun.
OOH Yeah and don't forget they lost in Penalties to Juve in 96, they could have been 2 UCL..Litmanen was scoring goals from everywhere in that 96 run..omg...i think he moved to Barca after that....Ajax has produced some of the best Talents ever...
Someone should remind him about his failure in Serie A. No space for him to run at
One team that will never get the recognition has the best of all time because they lost in '05 was Milan from '03 to '07. Unbelievable superstars and some all-time greatest players scattered all over the pitch.
Stupid good team

They all had the wrong Barca team at #1. The ‘08 had some great players. But the 10-11 version had the best team. David Villa, Pedro , and Busquets were so much better for the system that Pep was building. The ‘10-11 had to be the greatest team to ever grace the game.
08/09's Barca won the first ever Sextuple in football's history.
It's hard to argue with facts.

No 2009 was better team. 2011 had messi doing tons of individual stuff
But as a team that 2009 barcelona could do eventhing and thy were not as dependent on messi to succeed.
In fact, in 2009 they kept better posession, had better defenders and etoo and henry would sometimes do better than messi. In the final in 2009 etoo played better than messi.

Milan 03-07 is criminally underrated
The 16/17 madrid has to be better than the 17/18. They were the best european team ever. Every player in that team were at their prime. They had one thing that other teams lacked was the mentality and switching on whenever they want to.
I agree, the amount of good players Madrid had on their bench was the factor of them winning La liga and the champions league 2016-17.
Lol mentality is one thing, but playing the best football is another. Pep’s Barca had MENTALITY and the best football anyone has ever seen.
Deff 16/17 real Madrid was the strongest team out of the three peat era.
Nope. The Milan team from 03-07 is the greatest team assembled. Each position was played by the best in the world at that position. Every position. The fullbacks and midfielders the attackers. All ballon d’or contenders in the top 5 for their position it’s crazy
I still think 09-13 Barca is the best team I’ve ever seen. Couldn’t get the ball off them and Messi was playing outrageous football
Micah isn't really knowledgeable about football, but he brings some fun to the screen and I have to believe that's why he's there

That 2011 final always stands out in my mind. Barca were unbelievable, it was like they had completed football.
Man City looked pretty complete last week vs Madrid so interesting to see if they go another level
I think 10/11 Barca is probably the greatest.
12/13 Bayern and 19/20 Bayern were absolute machines can't say for sure which ones was better but 19/20 Bayern was certainly one of the most dominant teams, they put every team to the sword, they scored 43 goals. No team has ever scored as many in a regular UCL campaign, and they did it in 2 less matches, put 10 past tottenham, previous year finalist, put 7 past chelsea, put 8 past Barca. Went on a 15 game winning streak, longest in the UCL history, which only ended when they fielded a second string side with 3 - 4 18 year olds against an Atletico said fighting for their life in the group.
You probably gathered I'm a Bayern fan by now lol. Anyways
2014 - 2018 Madrid team
rest would be that 92 - 94 Ajax team
Those are the 4 standouts I can think of. There's the AC milan teams, the 00 - 02 Bayern team. the current Liverpool team.
Madrid 2013/14 was crazy, 28 goal difference a record at that time, destroyed prime Bayern 5-0 and atletico 4-1 in the final

if you just go 2 years back you got a Milan team that was stacked with legends at every position on the field while having good chemistry. Sad that they bottled there final.
The reason they aren’t there is because barça 09 gave them a footballing masterclass with the very same players who beat barça the season before . One of the most 1 sided finals I have ever Seen against a world class team. You had the impression that United was a division 3 club in that match apart from the first 10 mins.

Bayern Barc was better
Man UTD 99 was very underrated considering they didn't have Scholes and Keane due to match suspensions. But as a whole, that team was LOADED: Schmeichel, Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Cole, Yorke, Sheringham, Beckham, Irwin, Solskjaer, Neville, Stam.
At lot of that team was like Barca 09 team. Academy players mainly and won the treble while playing Bayern Barcelona Juventus and inter Milan
Sorry but Madrid’s 2014-2018 on a European level was the greatest team ever. Winning 4 UCLs in 5 years is unheard of. I mean BBC at the front, with Modric Kroos Casemiro dominating even in 2022 is ridiculous.

For the past ten years, I've been a season ticket holder with the LA Galaxy.

Jose’s Inter ‘09-10. I would put them up against any team in history.
Jose's tactical brilliance brought out the best of that Inter team. Sneijder was robbed of the Balon d'Or that year. Also they bested Pep's Barcelona which is no small feat
@Layen GallagherTrue. I agree 100%. I suppose it’s why I instinctively labeled them as “Jose’s Inter”. Take Jose away from that equation, and you get a Bale hattrick at the San Siro. That treble winning side was peak Jose - they would’ve died for him.
@Layen Gallagher I would argue that they had top 5 to 10 players in every position (Chivu and Stankovic probably the weakest ones).
Cesar
Maicon
Lucio
Samuel
Chivu
Zanetti
Cambiasso
Stankovic
Sneijder
Milito
Etoo
Jose made a real team out of them and got them to perform according to their potential.
When you say overachieved, are you saying that squad wasn't really good enough to win CL?
@Layen Gallagher If I remember correctly Inter won its 5th consecutive league title that year, so they were definitely better that Milan och Juventus at the time.
Inter might not have had the world's top 1 player at all positions(what team has had that ever?), but they didn't have holes in their eleven as most of the other teams had where the quality dropped a lot in some positions.
2015 bARCA WOULD RIP THAT TEAM IF NOT 2011 Barca would
Barcelona 2009 to 2011 by very very far the best club team ever.
The way they played, the dominance the opposition, the amount of titles, the fact that in the same period the spanish national team whose backbone were Barcelona players won everything Euro, World Cup...

This is only about CL tho
Good team but not best UCL team of all time

The barca team of 2009 have been the greatest I have ever seen on the grass. How they dominated games, especially that midfield trio of Buskets, Xavi and Iniesta. What an orchestrated midfield.
Nope 2011 the best by far. Also most goals in football history. Pedro,villa, messi,xavi,iniesta, busquet were unstopable
Good to see micah actually rated a united side cause they all were rivals so didn't expect any of them to put united. That united 07-08 season were one of the best also. To get to 3 finals in 4 years has to be just as good even without cr7 and tevez those years after winning it.
Era wise, 2016-2018 Real Madrid are the best CL team ever, in my opinion. But single season? I think the boys chose 2009 Barça because they won the treble. But I strongly agree with Sir Alex Ferguson, who said that 2011 Barça was the best team that he's ever seen.
Not completely dominating, since in domestic league they were still beaten by Barcelona. Real Madrid has a thing for CL for sure but still they didn't dominate CL and got lucky in few games like that final with Atlectico Madrid.

And there were last minute goals, uncalled fouls, questionable ref decisions, yes they were great but you could say they couldve lost a lot of those games. And to see a barca team that was “not good enough” still beat madrid every other game pretty convincingly
In retrospect, Sacchi's Milan (1989), Van Gaal's Ajax (1994) and Pep's Barcelona (2011) were the greatest teams to watch while they were winning trophies. Real Madrid has outperformed all other clubs in terms of trophies but they were more ruthless than entertaining - except for the era of Zidane as a player, with that memorable goal against Leverkusen (2002). Real surely has winning in their DNA, they showed it this year more than ever.
Real outperformed the others in terms of silverware over a few years so they have to be in this list for that impressive acheivement but it never felt like they were the overwhemingly dominant team in the way that some of these others were. I couldn't see that team putting in a performance like the one that 2011 Barca side did in the final, for example, and I really can't see them beating that team if we were to see them play against each other.

Other teams that younger football fans should know about.
Johan Cryuffs Ajax Amsterdam won 3 European Cups in a row between '70-'71 to '72-'73 and included legends like Mühren, Rep and Neeskens. This team, first managed by Rinus Michels, revolutionised football with their Total Football style of play and was the foundation upon which the playing style of the great Barca sides of the mid-to-late-2000s was built.
The original Galacticos, Real Madrid of the late 1950s. Captained by the great Alfredo di Stefano- arguably the footballing G.O.A.T.- this team was stacked with star players such as the great Brazilian Didi, Hungary's G.O.A.T. Puskas and Paco Gento. The won five (5!) consecutive European Cups and their 7-3 win over Frankfurt in the '59-'60 final played in Glasgow was an inspiration to Sir Alex Ferguson, "Eintracht Frankfurt beat Rangers 12-4 on aggregate in the semi-final and, being a Rangers fan at the time, we thought those guys were gods. They were the best team I'd ever seen in my life, and then they got slaughtered 7-3 in the final! That put into perspective how good Real Madrid really were."
Its only teams of the champions league that is from 1992
They won 5 in a row because back then the previous year champion played directly in the final of next year..not so dominating.

Barcelona 2015 was the best.
World class player in every position with the best attacking trio ever with magicians who could individually tear teams apart. Plus they had amazing chemistry and looked dominant throughout the whole season winning the treble. And their run was amazing as they beat champions of France, champions of England, champions of Germany and Champions of Italy (and on top of that finished above champions of Europe in their domestic league)
I rank 2009 and 2011 above 2015. Tiki-Taka at it's peak. Best version of Messi and all the spanish players. We all know what happend after with Rosell & Bartomeu's team. So many disappointments. Afterwards, 2015 just felt like a fluke if you compare these 3.

Not necessarily a case for one of the best ucl ‘teams’ ever, but the 2012 Chelsea team has to be mentioned as one of the best ucl winning runs of all time, going up against and beating the likes of Barca and Bayern who’s teams from that era are considered amongst the best of all time. The way they came back to beat Napoli in the last 16 2nd leg after sacking their manager AVB and then go on to beat prime Barca and Bayern both times away with the players they had in comparison to Barca and Bayern was incredible. They were considered extreme underdogs both times and still managed to come out on top, especially the manner in which they did against Bayern in the final, equalising in the final minute and beating them on penalties in their own backyard. I would argue that the 2012 final was just as amazing a comeback from Chelsea as the Liverpool one in 2005, and deserves to be up there with one of the best ucl runs of all time.

2016-17 RMA was waaay More Dangerous than 2017-18... RMA scored against every single One in 2016-17... heck... they Scored 4 goals against one of the BEST Defending Sides Juventus that Year in the Final...
As a Liverpool fan, I have to admit Milan 2007 was pretty impressive. Even Milan 2005 was better than us, even if they lost.
That Ajax squad of the mid 1990s were just out of this world. The lineup they had was so good. I hope Ajax will win their fifth overall Champions League title in the future.
Gotta love Henry's wit and humor
I believer he's the most intellectually elegant sports personality I have ever seen, and his French accent doesn't disappoint.
And his sarcasm.
Man utd 07-08, the team that every other team feared to face..., when premier league was dominant ones.
I'm a Man U fan, but I love Micah, great respect for him as a player and as a pundit! I agree with the group that Pep's Barca were the best team in world football ever. My dream match would be Barcelona v the 1970 Brazil national team. I'm not sure who would win, but I'm glad to say that I've lived long enough to watch both of them. Thanks fellas!
Eh 1970s , kinda old with very diff systems
For me barca from 06 to 2012 was probably the best team to watch and three finals in that period and won them all
Most influential would be Pep’s Barca. Given how they changed how football is played today.
But the greatest, in terms of trophies, Real Madrid 3 consecutive UCLs, 4 in 5 years, is undisputed.
