There's nothing wrong with saying that, "è possibile". He's not saying anyone is happy about it, but there are 6-8 clubs who are strong enough to beat each other and win the CL. Ajax are not one of them, not given their experience, financial muscle or the age of the players, that's the point he was making. So that loss was not a flip of a coin, it was unacceptable.
I think with all our success we also deceive a lot of people, especially if we make a signing like Ronaldo. We are a massive club and continual front-runners for the trophy, yet we do it from a position where our turnover is 45% less than Barcelona, 40% less than Real Madrid, and so on.
We see ourselves as being on a level playing field and puff ourselves up to look as strong as any club, it's actually impressive how we've managed to do that in the last 5 years despite that financial difference.
