What's the greatest association team of all time (club, year) ?

what's the greatest association team of all time (club, year) ?

AC Milan

Barcelona 2009

>pic related, Barcelona 2010-11
All time? Debatable
Of the decade, for sure

>muh glorified friendly cup

Not very intercontinental if there's only two clubs from the same continents every time

Liverpool 2014

nvm, thought you were talking about what's the biggest club

for team gotta be Barcelona 2009 or Barcelona 2012

poop's barca

koln every year

Arsenal 2004

>Barcelona 2012
The one that lost the league to Madrid for the first time in 4 years and lost to di Mateo's Chelsea?

Spain 2007-2013

this (but ironically)

AC Milan 2002-07

Man Utd 2008-11

Barcelona 2008-2012

Real Madrid 2014-present

Probably the best in my lifetime.

Honourable mentions to: Arsenal invincibles, 2014-16 Atletico, 2004-07 Chelsea, early 2000s Valencia,

didn't see these teams but are widely brought up in these debates

Real Madrid 1998-2002
AC Milan 1988-1994
Real Madrid 1950s and 1960s
Man Utd late 60s
Benfica early 60s
Ajax early 70s
Liverpool late 70s to mid 80s.


basically you have to do very, very well in the Champions League over a short spell to be considered one of the greatest teams ever.

>Honourable mentions to: Arsenal invincibles, 2014-16 Atletico, 2004-07 Chelsea, early 2000s Valencia,

plus Mourinho's Inter, 2012-15 Bayern, 2002-04 Porto, Spain 2008-14

>Barcelona 2012
You mean the one that had to get fake penalties to get past a 36 year old Nesta?
Fucking LMAO

Anyone who says anything other than 1989 Milan(that is for club sides since 1982 Brazil is the best team ever if we count NT's) is fooling themselves

>AC Milan 1988-1994
These are 2 separate teams

Sacchi's Milan '87-91
Capello's Milan '91-96

>Real Madrid 2014-present

pretty low standards

and basically forgoting the best team of all times, Van Gaals Ajax

>Not very intercontinental if there's only two clubs from the same continents every time
It's pretty intercontinental if there's always two clubs from different continents. It may not be very "worldy" but it's very continental.

>Van Gaals Ajax
Seriously? Why do people overrate this particular team so much? They won a CL thanks to a lucky Kluivert goal and then they lost in penalties to Juve the following year

>3 champions league finals
>probably 3 wins

not at all. they are a great team.

They faced AS Reddit, Wolfsburg and Man Shitty on the Knockouts. That's the easiest route to a final ever

>arsenal invincibles
please do not post these two word next to each other in this thread

Brazil 1970

>Real Madrid 2014-present
>Invincibles

t. Ahmed Messi

Santos 1962
Brazil 1970

Leeds United 1992

Am I a retard thinking it's Valencia 2000-2001?

Easy

holy shit albania, you have to be baiting or basically didn't watch any actual game

With no game and pretty boring. Being a succesful team doesn't make you be the greatest or one of the greats. The idea are teams that changed football, also losing,

You just said the winners of the last 20 ucl

Fantastic post
