I know, about Gladbach's 1970 sucess story. My point is different.
My problem is not Gladbach, but teams like Gladbach, especially from Bundesliga.
And what exactly is teams like Gladbach supposed to mean?
Aside from Bayern, Dortmund made it to the CL Final(after a tough first year), Schalke made it to a semifinal and most of the time out of the group stages and Leverkusen also made it to the last 16 quite often.
I know we're not the favourites to win it but bringing up Serie A teams, other then Juve, is just eh interesting, given their success these past 5 - 10 years.
And these english teams pure in money left and right(especially City) but haven't done much(except Chelsea) in the last couple of years.
And Spain, well, you're talking about Real and Barca and not those other spanish teams, as Atletico is pretty much doing the same thing Dortmund did a year earlier.
So I'm still not sure what your problem is and why the hell especially italian teams should get more spots, given that this current Juve run is the first in a long time, while there's no other italian team around for quite some time.
Thanks.
You're point is....?
