A bit like Ronaldo claiming the 'winning' goal last season, when it was Bale.

Of course it was Suarez with the winning goal here.

Disagree, you take the whole package. Great goal, but his stamping on the feet of the last defender 5 mintutes later was not needed.

You enjoy his amazing ability, but also judge his bad attributes.

Think this team is even better than the one Pep created. Greatest club side of all time.

Big call, surely they have to do this again next year to be considered with the greats of Madrid, Liverpool, Ajax, Milan and Forest :rasta

They've won 3 Champions Leagues in 7 years since Pep started. Won 4 league titles too.

Only club side ever to win 2 European trebles. And they've done that within 7 years.

Madrid won 5 in 5 years, Ajax, Bayern 3 in 3 years, Liverpool 3 in 5 years, or 4 in 8. Milan 3 in 6.

Oh and the great teams have to win the European cup back to back........

Barcelona the greatest of the current era. Though i feel Bayern should have been more after 2012/13.

None of those have won the treble twice. Winning one competition is good but it doesn't show that they're completely dominating Europe and their own domestic league.

Not really relevant to this discussion but since Pep Guardiola started managing in 2008/09, all the Champions League winners are either his team or the team that beat them.

Might suggest winning the domestic league and cups is much easier now though for the big teams.
