Under pressure at the back, you will see us clearing it long at times, you will rarely see Barcelona doing that, unless its the absolute last option.

Not saying either approach is right or wrong, just a difference in playing style, i guess.

Clearing long is fine as long as you have an outlet that will easily win a duel and make the counter happen

At least this is sort of half baked performance with perhaps not everyone up to speed. So good to take care of business away. 2 more until back home with some fans and if points from all 3 with good defensive shift, I'm content

Carlo is not a league person.
He is the opposite of Pep, who is a league master.

Has won only 1 (!) in almost 8 seasons, during the glory days of his AC Milan,
0 with juventus, 1 with Chelsea, 0 with Real,

of course he won 1 at Bayern with no contenders.
while he even managed to lose 1 during his time at PSG

In leagues other than Ligue1 and Bundesliga, when coaching a title-contender team, he has a very poor league record:
3/13 (!)

Conclusion: Atleti and Barca have to bottle big time for a league underachiever like Carlo to lead this meh RM to a league title

Shit conclusion
Just because it isn't likely based on frequency doesn't mean others bottling is a prerequisite for him winning it. He didn't win the title with Chelsea and Milan because Fergie and Lippi decided they can't be bothered.

Point is he is a league underachiever, whenever he had a serious squad, most of the times he failed to win the league.

That does not guarantee anything, but historical record says something

If you want to put that brand on, sure. Why though? What's the motivation for stating this?
How many underachievers are there in world football if you base this on squad or funds at disposal? Fergie and Wengs would be big fat underachievers considering they worked for two of the richest clubs in England for 20 years at a time.

Doesn't mean anything other than he wins more cups than leagues.
Nor does it mean anything for this season where he has a normal degree of chance to win the league provided Barca are going to be finding their feet w/o Messi and Atleti still counting on Suarez & Felix producing. Doesn't mean they'd bottle anything.
