Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas believes that the current Paris Saint-Germain team is the best French side of all time.
PSG won the Ligue 1 title with a record eight games to spare following a 9-0 thrashing of bottom club Troyes on Sunday and they are also into the Champions League quarterfinals after seeing off Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate.
The Parisians have now won Ligue 1 four times in a row, still some way short of the seven titles in succession that Lyon managed from 2001 to 2008.
The manner in which Laurent Blanc's side are dominating the French domestic scene has been impressive, however, as PSG are 25 points clear of nearest rivals Monaco at the top of the table.
PSG's only blemish in France this season was when Lyon ended their record 36-match unbeaten run in the league with a 2-1 victory last month.
"Everyone should realise that it's an incredible achievement," Aulas told Le Parisien. "Obviously if we take into account the resources involved, maybe our performance in the [previous decade] was even more rewarding.
"But the Parisians allow themselves to win where they want and when they want... except at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
"It's much superior to what we did -- you have to recognise that. They're the best French team of all time."
Meanwhile, ex-Bayern Munich defender Dante has warned PSG that winning the league early can harm a team's chances of becoming European champions.
Wolfsburg centre-back Dante was part of the Bayern side that wrapped up the Bundesliga title with seven games to go two years ago.
But despite having time to focus their energy on the Champions League, they were then hammered 5-0 by Real Madrid in the semifinals.
"The advantage is that it allows you to give some players a breather to prevent injuries," he told L'Equipe. "But it's clear that in terms of tension and concentration, it's no longer the same thing.
"You no longer have the responsibility of winning every match because you're already champions.
"With Bayern it wasn't the best thing that could have happened to us. We lost our aggressiveness, the rhythm of high-intensity matches, the little thing that allows you to go beyond your limits ... What we lacked was matches with something at stake.
"When they arrived, we had the head for them but no longer the legs. That's the danger."
