I think his celta and roma records aren't accounted for there

The team is in good form.This is the best chance we are going to get to get a back-to-back treble.
If we beat Atletico and win the extra match,we are going to get a solid lead(like at least 5-6 points).We have almost all the difficult matches at home,so if the team plays like they can,we should win the Liga.It still too early to say,but if we get that lead,it would require some effort to lose the league.
We are most probably going to get to the Copa semis.Real is out,and we can beat Atleti in a 2-leg encounter.The only way i see us losing the Copa is if we get Atleti at the (potential) final.
Finally,the CL is the most difficult to predict.No team has won it back-to-back,and i am honestly sceptical.However,this is going to be our best chance IMO.Arsenal is going to be really tough,but i will be surprised if they knock us out.After that,it is extremely tough to predict.Teams like PSG,Juve and Real are inferior to us,but if we play a shit match(like Celta or the Bilbao one),it will be impossible to turn it around.But even if we play like we can,no one can guarantee that we are going to beat these teams and especially Bayern.
TL;DR This is our best chance to win the treble.If we continue playing like this(and improve a little bit) i can't see us losing Liga and the Copa.But CL is going to be tough regardless

I think our best chances to win back to back CL were in 2010 and 2012 when competition was smaller and we were unlucky to miss finals vs. Inter (ref, vulcano) and Chelski (luckiest winners in decades).
PSG, Atlético nor Bayern weren't this strong.

That's true.It's going to be really tough.
I think that the fact that the 09/10 team lost the CL was truly a shame.The team was at its peak,and Messi had started GOAT-ing.
On the other hand,11/12 was the last year of Pep.We lost the Liga because we lost too many away matches iirc,unlike the 09/10,when we finished with almost 100 points.
In retrospect,Pep kinda messed up two perfect teams by bringing Ibra and Fabregas respectively.On the other hand,this team is almost identical to the 14/15 team
-Xavi out,Arda in
-Rafinha "out",Roberto " in"
-Pedro out,none in his place
-Better Neymar,slightly worse(?) Messi (so far)
so that's why i think that we may win the CL again.

CL is a different beast. Keep in mind in 2010 we also lost to Sevilla in CDR final and in 2012 we lost to a very strong RM side in La Liga.
I agree with Bojan though. 2010 should've been our year. 2012 we suffered a lot of injuries and overall not playing as well as the previous year.

Back to back trebble is the unspoken goal obviously, but it's very very hard especially for the UCL, I'd be gutted if we get eliminated before the final but it's not impossible.
Though my opinion of Lucho has taken a 180° turn after Anoeta, and even more now, I believe in him 100% and I'm sure we'll win every trophy we reasonably can.
PS : Bayern just lost Boateng for almost the rest of the season, not that I wish injury bla bla bla ... but that's good for us.

Wouldn't agree about the team being in good form, team is arguably in it's worst form since the shaky start to the season - even if they have managed to grind out some results. To the larger point, they don't need to be in their best form yet as they still are incorporating new additions and getting healthy ahead of a tough schedule

Calma, calma
Also winning 50 of 60 games (83.3%) in the first season is unbelievable. But I think this is the coolest Lucho stat:

Would be very interesting to compare to Pep's best year. I'm quite sure Lucho surpasses it.
That's true. The gap between Barca and rest of Europe was biggest in 2010

Lucho's results are speaking for themselves but what impresses me the most about his coaching job so far is that he never panics, regardless of whether we play mediocre or if we're having some poor results.
He doesn't point fingers but he doesn't shy of constructive criticism either, whether we've won or not. A lot of coaches would have ignored the gameplay and only focused on the result against Malaga but those type of coaches don't improve their teams.
