Trying in Europe hasnt helped Real win many domestic titles either.
Regardless the Tottenham discussion, Since 2007 there have been 8 UCL winners .only twice a team won it without winning domestic league and that was RM in 2014 and Chelsea in 2012.other 6 has won both CL and League title IIRC
Though I feel that we shouldn't bring the CL to the main discussion .different tournament than Europa
I know that some here disagree, but i really dont "get" the english teams. They fight for every inch in the league to get into Europe, only to field b-teams once they get there? You meet Dortmund at Iduna Park, its just one of those matches that most teams live for, and you field a b-team.
Well, to each their own i guess.
It's only partly understandable that Spurs left out 4 starters because they are going after the League title. But still. Liverpool and United will go for the EL, though, it's their best option as things stand.
