Are we really "the best team in the world" right now?

When we win the champions league and world club champions then we will be the best according to the cuntish media.
 
Yes, we are the best team in the world right now.

We're probably the best English side in history and there are good arguments for us being 'The greatest football team ever'.

We need to get over this deeply ingrained inferiority complex that's so abundant within our fanbase. We support the best team in the world, period.

The greatest ever?!
 
Winning the CL would prove it to the masses but really it’s a bit like saying if you win the FA Cup you are the best team in England. You might be but then again you might not be.

If you are the best team in Europe you are most certainly the best in the World. No disrespect to other regions but since the Bosman ruling Europe has all the best players. A European team has won 13 of the last 14 World Club Cups and if you look at the players that play for example Brazil or Argentina very few play their club football in South America. It’s difficult to say exactly how highly a non European side would rank but the best guess is probably around 40 and is Flamengo (note that they didn’t win the most recent Copa Libertadores)

To know the best actual team, counter intuitively, you need to look at performance rather than results and the most accurate period to look at is around a season and a half of performances.

At the end of the day it’s trophies that matter but most top clubs know that all you can do is play to your highest standard and keep your fingers crossed for trophies. Ancelloti isn’t the first to say these things about City and even Klopp said it a while ago. They aren’t just being nice they all have access to a lot of data that wasn’t available 10 years ago and helps them monitor all teams performances and sign better players.

It’s been known for a while now that City perform the best across the board. Doesn’t mean we will anything but it gives us the best chance.

Correct as far as right now goes.
Maybe re England all time but it’s very hard to compare teams from different eras.
Probably not re best ever anywhere... Pep’s Barca followed by Pep’s Bayern probably 1 and 2 but again all you can really do re different eras is compare how dominant they were in their own time as they don’t play each other unless they have a tardis.

Look at our form from December until now. 1 loss, the rest wins. Show me another team that has done that playing football against such a high quality of opposition?

I don't think those kind of accolades can be given out on the basis of 4 months of form, no matter how good that form is. Even if we win the quadruple this season that wouldn't seal it either. To be literally the best team ever is something that can only be established over a long period of success and, in my opinion, only in retrospect.
