Manchester City are three games from greatness and securing the Treble under Pep Guardiola will see many rushes to anoint them as the best club team of all time \u2013 if they aren’t already.<\/p>\n

Victory over\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0on Sunday would secure a third league title in a row, with an\u00a0FA Cup final against\u00a0Manchester United\u00a0to come before the Champions League final against Inter Milan.<\/p>\n

Who is the best team they have ever seen? Our football writers have their say below, and you can vote for your winner, too.<\/p>\n

I never thought I would say there is a greater club side than Guardiola’s\u00a0Barcelona which won the Champions League Final in 2010-11. But if his Manchester City of 2022-23 land the Treble,\u00a0then they will surpass them.<\/p>\n

That Barcelona team also won the Treble of the League, cup, and Champions League and, inspired by Lionel Messi, were utterly dominant. But there is just something in the way that City blows away the opposition that makes them so peerless.<\/p>\n

There was a brutal beauty to it as they swept aside the European champions Real Madrid, just as they did\u00a0Bayern Munich, just as they did their closest Premier League rivals,\u00a0Arsenal. It is the kind of dominance that is almost scary for the opposition but is achieved by some of the most aesthetically pleasing football imaginable. Unlike Barcelona a decade ago they do not, as City have been accused in the past, over-play but a wonderfully-balanced team full of imagination, flair, and a phenomenal work rate and will to win.<\/p>\n

Who or what was Mediolanum? Why did Franco Baresi appear to be in his late 40s? Where could you buy one of those red and black shirts in London in the Eighties? Could they be beaten? The great AC Milan team of 1989 had a mythical status if you were growing up in that decade. English clubs were banned from Europe until 1990. Italian football was on Channel 4. Even Marco van Basten’s name felt like it should be the Dutch phrase for the ball hitting the back of the net.<\/p>\n
