The standard of opposition is consistently higher than the PL, most of the teams have been the strongest we have come against each season, with the exception of Villarreal, Pilsen, and CSKA.
it is no surprise PL teams are doing badly in Europe, they simply don't measure up. I find it staggering that people would rather watch Watford than Napoli, b.dortmund, real, Bayern, etc
I want us to do well in the CL so badly, to me it defines a great side, and we can never classify our selves as truly so, until we win it, and win it again.
So I'm bursting a gut to get there, City vs Juve for the trophy I never dreamed we would ever compete for again, to finally atone for Fenerbahce.
