I remember him saying all through the 2011/2012 season that we didn't have the ability nor were we aspiring to win the title despite the fact that we were leading the table for most of the season. Maybe after he saw this worked he decided to use the same psychological strategy for the Champions League.
Of course he doesn't think it is literally impossible. Strange things happen. He's saying that we are not considered to be part of that top tier of 5-6 clubs that at the start of UCL season will be favoured to make the final. And this is certainly true. We could get very lucky, yes, but it would be a massive surprise to the entire football world if we won the UCL next year. Just as no one in their right mind would have predicted Atletico playing in the final, or even the semifinal, this year.

It's Pussy mentality, go on the field and give your best, do not cry to the fucking journalists with bullshit like we are construction site, we were unlucky, we have No money bla bla bla, it's unacceptable, recently conte has found his own way to explain his mistakes, universal excuse - no money, juve won - praise players, they are phenomenal, Juve lost - don't blame me we have no money, fuck this shit, enough of this crap, and now he is arguing with John through the media 
Back then or 10 years ago, 60-70m were like 100m today, just like in 10-15 years from now, 150m will be like 100m today for money power clubs.
Regarding your first question:
- Aging Milan or dinosaur team like we used to call them, reached the final couple of times when Berlusconi was buying one world class player a season and that's it.
- Porto obvious one.
- Barcelona didn't spend much either on transfers but yeah they build a team from their youth system.
- Manchester United, I don't remember them spending 100m, if anything they were in deep financial problem.
- Atletico (2min away from winning, no one can deny that)
Many other examples.

On the contrary to this subject, Real have spend if I remember correctly somewhere around 900m close to 1billion to only manage to win the CL one time in the last 11 years.
PSG last couple of seasons couldn't reach the semi's and most likely wont reach the final next couple of years too no matter how much they spend.
Manchester City? Not much to say.
Like I said, money can be vital but it's no guarantee CL trophy.

Man, take a look at this squad again and tell me if fans are right to be upset or not and even if we signed no one.
Buffon
Barza - Bonucci - Chiellini
Lich - Vidal - Pirlo - Pogba - Asamoa
Llorente - Tevez
Do you need more than these quality players to make it to the 2nd round? I don't think the problem is with the quality of the squad but rather of the wrong mentality TBH.

i have addressed those examples in my reply to dule, except for fc we buy 30 mil euro rightback barcelona it's a joke to compare what we invest with them. as for your statement "Like I said, money can be vital but it's no guarantee CL trophy." it has no bearing on the conversation just like making it to the 2nd round.
The fact, not opinion or interpretation, stands that since man city/psg entered the scene, only teams with real heavy investment win the CL.

wrong, both on how you quoted azzurri and that money is vital but there can only be one winner so 5 will invest heavily but 1 will win.
