Yeah the toughest ever is probably 14/15 Barcelona - who may actually be the best team ever - as they actually did beat four of the five champions of the Big Five leagues to win the CL.
Round of 16: Manchester City (EPL - 1st) 3-1
Quarter Finals: PSG (France - 1st) 5-1
Semi Finals: Bayern Munich (Germany - 1st) 5-3
Finals: Juventus (Italy - 1st) 3-1
And even though they weren't the league champions coming into that season in Spain (Athletico were) they did win La Liga that season.
