This Barca side has had one good season, they need to win a hell of a lot more to be considered the best side in the history of football. Real Madrid won 8 of 9 titles in the 1960's. You can kind of see my point surely.
Not that I can profess to know, having not been alive in the 60's, but I wonder if Real had as much competition in the 60's as Barca have now for La Liga? A study of the last decade of Spanish football shows 4 different league winners.
Either way, yes you are right, Barcelona do need to dominate for an extended period of time (though 3 leagues, two champions leagues in the past 5 seasons ain't shabby), but one thing I can say without any doubt is that the Barca team of 08/09 play by far the best football I have ever seen (consistently too, not just every few matches) from any side in any league in the world. I hope it continues for a long time.
