My ranking:
1-Bayern 2012/2013
2-Barcelona 2008/2009
3-Barcelona 2014/2015
4-Internazionale 2009/2010.
At least in modern football, I don't think that a team was as consistently unstoppable and destroying the adversaries in the course of a season as Bayern in 2012/2013. Pep's Barcelona was technically superior, but their thin squad combined with Guardiola rotating the team very little always meant that their level of performance dropped significantly in the second half of all their seasons, specially in February. Coming back to Bayern, their versatility was also incredible. And their amazing victories in that season were far more than the games against Barcelona. In the end, we need to go back to Ajax 1972 and Celtic 1967 to find trebles of this level. Despite not winning the UCL more than once, the Bayern of the first half of the 2000s deserves to be remembered as a legendary team and one of the best ever.
It was really tight for me to choose between Barcelona 2008-2009 and Barcelona 2014-2015. The former won due to being the first season of the best team ever, Pep's Barcelona (though they would improve in next seasons, specially in the 2010-2011 season) and because they were amazing throughout the whole season. Barcelona 2014-2015 only really clicked together with the 3-1 victory against Atletico Madrid in 11 January 2015, 18th round of La Liga, their best performance in the season so far. From then on, they were truly amazing, a blast to watch in all competitions in the rest of the season. To make it clear: Barcelona was not bad in the first half of the season, but Suárez was really late to play for the first time for Barcelona due to his ban after World Cup and took awhile for him to recover his fitness and feel comfortable within team. Luís Enrique also could not decide how the team should play, the better tactics and the starting XI. This deficiency showed up in Barcelona's games against the best opponents, such as Real Madrid in La Liga and PSG in UCL. The defeat against Real Sociedad in the start of the year was seemingly dooming Barcelona's hopes for the season, but then everything clicked together later. MSN was the best attacking trio I ever saw, their chemistry and magic, their crazy skills, their telepathic combinations and triangles, they were unbelieavable.
About Internazionale 2009/2010, a truly historic and great team, often underrated, I just could not put it ahead the other treble winning teams above. I recommend Football Made Simple's video about that amazing and often misunderstood Internazionale team.
