Showing how its done RE: winning in Europe.
Mourinho earlier this week, then Ancelotti last night. Two Solid 1-0 wins. Strong defence. Quality in attack when the chances come. It's why managers like these guys are serial winners in Europe whilst managers like Klopp are serial losers.
To quote Mourinho; 'Finals are not for playing, they are for winning'
Two experienced veteran managers

Carlo is a cool customer. Took his revenge on those Liverpool fans locking him earlier on, with a fantastic dagger in their heart.

Too think the bt pundits were all delighted liverpool got madrid instead of city as it would be an easier game.
So disrespectful to the FOURTEEN times champions.

Roma won a Europa Conference League. Fair play to Mourinho winning it but them winning it is more to do with the fact Uefa opened up another lesser competition for teams like Roma to win. Had Spurs been allowed to continue in it, they'd have had as much chance to win it.

But it's true isn't it? Teams like Roma and Spurs who never win anything now getting more chance to win something due to this competition. It's why Jose's achievement in winning it isn't as great as Wahl wants us to believe.

Had Tottenham gotten more points in their first 5 games, forfeiting the last game of their group wouldn’t have been an issue. Tottenham were deservedly eliminated at the group stage of the tournament that mourinho won.

We got eliminated thanks to bad luck, nothing more. The form is irrelevant if you're still in the competition. Roma got trounced by a team that nobody had heard of whose name you could type out if you headbutted a keyboard, but they still won the competition. Says it all.

The only time I'll ever agree with Wahl. Spurs were pathetic in that competition.
