Aside from Guardiola's sextuplet win, Leicester winning the PL is the greatest achievement of this decade.
Don't know, six trophies in a season is perfect. You can't really beat that, can you?I would think it's an unpopular opinion to think that Leicester winning the PL wasn't the greatest achievement of the decade, including Guardiola's sextuplet win.
He won the domestic treble, but what’s all this nonsense about six trophies and perfection when he didn’t lift the Champions League?Don't know, six trophies in a season is perfect. You can't really beat that, can you?

I meant at Barca guys. - I actually thought it was later than what it was - it was 09/10.
If we aren't counting that, then it's Leicester without a doubt IMO.
Manchester City will have many more seasons where they win a suite of domestic trophies. What Leicester did was far more extraordinary.
If they’d done a European double/treble then they’d have a case, but even then I’d lean towards Leicester I think.
I'd count a domestic treble a bigger achievement than a European treble.
Amongst Liverpool fans I'm sure it is.Now that’s an unpopular opinion.
Amongst Liverpool fans I'm sure it is.
But I don't think too many people rate the European Super Cup or Club World Cup much higher than the community shield.
FA cup ahead of the EL, unless you finished outside the top four and it also got you into the CL.I don’t think we’re on the same page with our definitions here.
A true European double is the Premier League + European Cup. A true treble would be throwing in the FA Cup, like United won in 1999.
That’s the pinnacle of success for any club and without a doubt trumps any suite of domestic trophies.
Ranking the trophies (my personal preference):
1. Premier League = Champions League
2. Europa League
3. FA Cup
4. UEFA Super Cup
5. Club World Cup = League Cup = Community Shield
Lol at putting the league cup level with the bloody charity shield also. The only good thing about the CS is that it means usually you won either the League or the FA cup. It’s just a pre season friendly match
I’m not denying it’s a hugely devalued trophy, and has always been the third most lucrative domestic trophy. But I’d still put it way ahead of the CS, which I don’t count as a major honour at all. I don’t treat any of those two team play off trophy/shield thing as a major honour and I don’t think the clubs themselves do eitherThe League Cup is a funny one, I think it means different things for different clubs. I’d love to win it, but when you look at the teams fielded by some of the bigger clubs it does damage the credibility of the competition relative to say the FA Cup, which they seem to take more seriously, therefore making it arguably more difficult to win.
I'd agree with that, premier league, champions League and fa cup is the ultimate.I don’t think we’re on the same page with our definitions here.

Oh, whoops!They only won four trophies that season. La Liga, UEFA Supercup, Club World Cup and Supercoppa Espana. Not exactly the most arduous quadruple of all time.
I'd swap 1 and 2 but agree with the rest.For me:
1 CL
2 PL
3 FA
4 EL
5 LC
6 CS & all the other play off euro trophies you get
Oh, whoops!
Then Leicester winning the PL is definitely the biggest achievement of the decade IMO.
