Five years ago, on the right or wrong day, it seemed like the six best teams in the world might stay that way forever. In Pep Guardiola's second season, Manchester City were in the midst of a run toward 100 points, a Premier League record.

Juventus weren't far behind, winning 95 points and their seventh straight Serie A trophy. Bayern Munich took down the Bundesliga by a 21-point margin.

Paris Saint-Germain had wrested control of Ligue 11 back from AS Monaco by signing Kylian Mbappe and Neymar before they began their campaign; it was only a matter of time until that turned into global domination.

And Barcelona did what they almost always did while Lionel Messi wore the Blaugrana: they won LaLiga, for the seventh time in 10 years.

FC Barcelona are in a very curious place at the moment. On the one hand they are top of La Liga by twelve points, and are set to win the title for the first time since the 2018-19 season. They are also on course to smash most of the defensive records across Europe.
