Man... 2012/13 season for Bayern was possibly even better than 2019/20 season, that's at least an honorable mention. 25 points ahead of second team in the Bundesliga, a treble, beating the shit out of THIS Barcelona team 7-0 over 2 legs in the semifinals...

And that 91 points they had that season was the Bundesliga record

Johan Cruijff being directly responsible for more than half of these teams truely proves that he is one of the best players of all time

If Leverkusen manages to win the Europa League and the cup final this week, my opinion is that this season belongs on such a short list, on account of them being invincible across all three competitions they played. That's still two games away, but it's an unprecedented level of greatness. Even if it's the Europa League rather than the Champions League, this is also Leverkusen, rather than a super-club like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Obviously not a single season so only tangentially related, but Nottingham Forest winning the First Division (then the top division in English football) in their first season after promotion, then winning the European Cup at the first time of asking while also winning 2 League Cups & setting a record of unbeaten league games that lasted for 26 years has to go down as one of the best 2-season runs of all time.

No honourable for the original Invincibles Preston North End, winning the first ever football league title with 18 wins and 4 draws, while also winning the FA cup without conceding a goal. The only completely Invincible season on top flight English history

In Milan we will always refer to the 92-93 season as the stolen treble, as Marseille was caught match fixing in that Champions League final.

The Champions League Final was also one of the greatest game for Milan, considering they obliterated the strongest Barcelona team under Johan Cruyff by not using their own strongest team, as some key players were either suspended (Baresi and Costacurta) or injured (Van Basten).

Hiya Alfie, I'm glad you got the Celtic team (1967) in this vlog, there were a fabulous team, 10 out of the 11 players played for the Scottish National team the only odd one was Jim Baxter and he played for Rangers, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
