The big positive for me is that this proves, yet again, how flukey and bollocks the CL (and Cup football in general) actually is.
The winners are always held up as the "greatest team in Europe" but that's rarely the case. A lot of the time it's about who gets the luck of the draw, penalty lotteries, and the finest of margins. Even Spurs got to a final FFS.
Any idiot can see we were the better team of the two last night and the best left in the competition.
That's why, for me, the Prem is always worth so much more and I agree completely with Pep when he says that winning the Prem is the biggest challenge, as you don't get "lucky draws" or "one offs" in the Prem. You have to do it week in, week out, for 38 games. And if we can win that thing four times in a row it'll be an incredible achievement.
If they ever turn the CL into an actual league where every team plays every other team twice, home and away, then it'd be far more impressive to win. Until then it's just another cup with all the random bollocks that goes with it. I think PSG will actually win it now and who would honestly say they're the best team in Europe? Or if Real fluke their way to yet another win, well, we made them look like a Championship underdog last night.
All focus on Prem now.
