I'm not so sure, Txiki and Khaldoon have talked about cycles of 3 years in the past and maybe this is the last year of that so go all out at the one thing we've not won.We are not doing that. It's stupid and foolhardy.
I do think we have a chance of winning the CL but watch any of the CL games and you see how they are decided by the smallest of moments.
To be honest our side deserves everything they get at the moment. If you are better than your opponent and don't press home your advantage then you deserve to fail.
If Pep is staying beyond the end of his current contract, maybe phase 2 starts next season with the younger players (e.g. Foden, Garcia, Doyle) and the likes of Dr Bruyne, Sterling, Laporte, Ederson and Bernardo emerge as the next batch of leaders in the dressing room.
