Us and Madrid have by far the worst managers out of Europe's best 5 clubs.
Allegri, Guardiola, Klopp and Simeone are at least 1 level above Ernie and Solari.
I bet we'll still win the CL. Somehow.
Doubt it. We will surely reach a moment where things go sour and then Valverde will bail out and leave us die a slow death like vs Roma. We're not good enough to win regardless of the manager. Meaning to carry a normal manager to a CL win like in 2014-15. Even then, we needed a peak MSN to make it happen, + some other key players just raising their games at the same time.
This year, we're good, but not that good as to flat out outplay big teams.
Take the next tie with Madrid. It's 50-50. I can totally see us being knocked out.
