Experienced midfielder Santiago Solari has lauded Barcelona, telling Sport that they are "the best side in recent times".
"I see them as the best, without a doubt - it's not a subjective thing. They won the treble while playing some spectacular football, and [Lionel] Messi will certainly win the Ballon d'Or," he added.
The 33-year-old also believes that Real Madrid have "another gear", and hopes that they can repeat the "wonderful times" of Florentino Perez's first era.
"The players came together and we had a base on which they were incorporated, year after year, first [Luis] Figo, then [Zinedine] Zidane, then Ronaldo.
"[Manuel] Pellegrini has a big task ahead of him in order to accommodate these big names and get them to work well soon."
Solari's current side, Atlante, will meet Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup if they beat Auckland City or Al-Ahli in the quarter-finals.
