Considering the consequences that win had on the club for the next 7 years (and still counting), looking back now I'm pretty sure many of us would've rather us take the L on all fronts that season, instead of winning the treble and Bartomeu getting another term to destroy the club on all fronts. Sure the CL win was great in that moment, but for me, 2009 and especially 2011 will always be the superior CL wins, also because of the way we played, 2015 win was all about MSN and individual quality prevailing.

No way...the 2015 season was statistically the greatest club football season played in Europe.

We went 175 goals scored, ONLY 36 conceded in 60 games. And won a historic 50 out of 60 games, while beating City, PSG, Bayern, and Juve in Europe (and RM and AM domestically).

The future is never guaranteed. It's great that we won that treble to cement that Barca era of 06-15 (4 CLs, 6 LL in 9 years) as the greatest stretch of dominance in the modern era, ahead of RM's 5 CL and 3 LL in 8 years from 2014 to 2022.

That 2015 was something else. Wow! What a team it was.

We might have won CL and done all that statisticly, but we did not play well as a TEAM.
We relied on MSN only, and the next year when clubs had figured that out, we were out of CL fast.
We played quite boring football completly ignoring our midfield.
2010-11 is far superior as a team and club, and we played much much better.

Its not all about statistics at the end of the day, 10-11 Barca were not treble winners, but most people think of them as better than 14-15 Barca, and i sure would agree as well.

The way you are carving out the eras is questionable to say the least if not false

Barca 2006 team had nothing to do with 2015 team. There are 3 eras:
Rijkaard's era from 2003-2008 with the 04-06 being the peak
Pep's era 08-12 which was all a peak IMO
Lucho's era 14-17 with the first 1.5 year being the peak

Same for RM. You can't say 2014 to 2022 is an era
The current team under Ancelotti is a totally different team from the 2016-2018 despite some members being the same

Maybe you're having trouble understanding what "greatest stretch of dominance" entails, but it's rather self explanatory.

06-15 is the time period with the greatest success/dominance/trophy haul in Barca history, and so is 14-22 RM in their club's history (slightly above 55-60 due to much better competition these days).

It still doesn't help.
'greatest stretch of dominance' is as vague and arbitrary as it gets
Was RM dominant from 18-21? Nah, they were bad, won only 1 LL against a horrible Barca, and failed against Atletico
Why include that 3 year period in the same stretch as the years before just because they won again league and CL in 2022?
Doesn't make any sense
