These football teams have made history in recent times with some extraordinary record-breaking periods.
One of the most popular years in the whole of English football, was when The Gunners became notoriously well known as ‘The Invincibles’. This name was coined as a result of the team going the whole season without losing a single game; in fact, they ended up going 49 matches undefeated in the league! Although they cannot be called the best team in the world right now, it’s without a doubt that this team is in the argument for one of the very best ever. This spectacular accomplishment cemented The Gunners in most people's list of the top 10 teams in Europe for a long time. This is because no other English team has managed to go undefeated for a whole season ever since then, so who knows when the next time this happens will be! Although the players from that era have been retired for some time now, it’s quite likely the Arsenal FC owner will always be looking to get back to that degree of accomplishment.
One period which will be quite memorable for fans of The Rossoneri, is the 2003-04 season when they controlled the Italian league. The team had some of the most famous soccer players across the world, and were a power to be reckoned with all across Europe. The few years surrounding this time period were particularly important for the club, as they had numerous great runs in the European cup, including winning it a couple of years later. In this given year however, they cruised to their 17th league title, finishing a fantastic 11 points ahead of second place. The AC Milan owner will certainly be aiming to get back to these levels of success in the coming years, as they just lost two matches for that entire season, which included a 19-game unbeaten run.
Regularly known as the best club in the world by football fans everywhere, the Catalans have had some really historic seasons. Their 2012-13 season was something special, with their key player netting almost 50 goals in just 32 league performances; many of these breathtaking goals being scored by his cultured left foot. This goes to show why many individuals think of him as the very best ever, and accounts for a lot of their success in the past decade. Another reason they’re thought to be among the greatest soccer clubs ever is the ‘tiki-taka’ football that made them so well-known during this time period. The possession-based style of play concentrates on short passing and movement off the ball, which quickly tires the other side as they wind up chasing shadows for long stretches of the game. The FC Barcelona president will dearly remember the absolute dominance his team showed during this season.
