Shit happens in football
It is what it is
We were competitive because we had prime Messi who was hungry for another CL. The Valverde apologists' excuses are laughable.
In
2018 we played against mediocre Chelsea,who finished 5th, 30 points behind the top
We were saved by a Messi masterclass in the second leg. Then we played against fucking Roma who finished 3rd in Italy,almost 20 points behind the top. We won 4-1 and then everyone knows what happened.
We also won the League,which is Valverde's only real achievement. Real was completely uninterested for La Liga that year, but I'll give it to Valverde for winning the league comfortably, despite playing horrible football.
That's the reason everyone was willing to give him a second chance,despite the Roma fiasco,which admittedly was up to that point the worst elimination of the last few decades.
Then, in
2019 we needed yet another Messi masterclass to beat Lyon. Then we played against ManU(we were lucky that PSG was eliminated) who finished 6th in EPL, 32 points behind the top
I really doubt we would have gone through had it not been for another GOAT performance from Leo. And then we were extremely lucky to beat Liverpool 3-0,because everyone who watched the game,knew that it was a balanced game. Salah and Mane would be absent from the second game. This was literally one of the biggest chokejobs in football history,even worse than the Remontada. We even trailed only 1-0 at half time. It was unthinkable that we would go out.
And the funniest thing is that came just one year after Roma
Yet another Valverde disasterclass and humiliaton
As for La Liga, Real experienced its worst season of the past few decades and Atletico is...Atletico. While we had prime Messi. Anyone would have won that title and that is a
FACT .
Finally, Valverde gave us another gift,by losing the CDR final lol
As for
2020, the situation cannot be described with words...
