Has to be the Champions League for me now. I love winning the league but we can't just keep burying our heads in the sand with regards to this. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Winning ten Leagues in a row would feel pretty hollow if we couldn't couple it with at least one European Cup. The teams that are regarded as a the greatest in club football have all won this trophy: Pep's Barca, the Milan team of the early noughties, the Madrids and the Bayerns, certain English clubs which I won't mention for fear of being labelled. For whatever reason, the club have a serious mental block when it comes to this tournament, we need to overcome it because we aren't going to be taken seriously until we do. This team's legacy, moreover Pep's legacy here, will be incomplete without it. I'm desperate to see that trophy beribboned in Sky Blue.
The people banging on about how it needs to be renamed have a point, but the reality is it's the European Cup. Much in the same way the Carabao Cup is the League Cup or the Barclays Premier League used to be the League. We don't have a European Cup in our trophy cabinet and that needs to change. No more excuses.
