Cue a Spurs victory ?

Never in doubt

Well that has been quite a dramatic round of football.

Never go 3 nil up against English teams in Europe, it only makes them angry!!!

Tomorrow will also likely see an Arsenal Chelsea final in the Europa!

Forget Brexit, we're finally dominating Europe again!!!

This season in Europe has shown that the premier league money has turned the tables, the premier league is the best league in Europe now. All those tough games helped Liverpool and Spurs when the backs were against the wall, the rest of Europe doesn’t have the same level of competition.

That's true.
But having said that Barca and Ajax rested far more than Liverpool and Spurs (plus the Spurs injuries)
The freshness seems to have been offset by the fact that the English teams have regular tough games.

It's a cyclical thing, isn't it.

Mid-to-Late 00s, the Premier League was all conquering, and the teams barely lost to anyone not named Barcelona.

Then they went through a bad patch, where all of the 'big' clubs went through some managerial or squad turmoil simultaneously and they ceased to be competitive on the CL stage for a few years (as much as it was the greatest Premier League season for me, by far, Leicester are never winning the title in a year when any of the richest clubs have their act together...…)

Now the new Sky TV deal has kicked in, some of the best managers in the world have signed on, and the Premier League is back to dominating.

Surprised Shaun Harvey hasn’t taken credit for this after introducing B teams into the abomination trophy
