You can't talk about context and then suggest our approach in the group stage is why we don't win the CL in two-legged or one-off knock out games (i.e. the final). This team underestimates weaker teams, has for a long time.
How many games and group stage campaigns do you have to watch to see the way we go about our business? We try to do just enough at this stage and then invariably find a gear when we need to. A couple of times we completely fucked it up (GS in the snow the obvious one) but it largely ends up working. It's infuriating to watch but tbh over the course of an Allegri season we have a patch of games like this in the league too, the ones where we all take the piss about things like "conserving energy" and the like. It irritates me particularly this season because the league looks like it'll be very closely contesting.

Again, where we were completely humiliated and owned. It takes a full blown retard or an individual drowning in a sea of delusion to not realize that. I celebrate wins, not runners up medals. Time to get back to your 2 liter bottle of diet coke; it craves your presence, as most inanimate objects do.
Even the club's president stated last year that he hopes this team wrap up qualification by 4th or 5th match day as he can't handle the tension himself.
Why do we always have to labour to victories/results against smaller sides ? How is saying 'we underestimate small teams' even a valid justification ? Tell that to the big clubs in Europe.
After making such a huge progress in Europe, is going through a normal qualification process too much to ask ? Especially after having spent €90M on supposedly upgrading the attack.
Yes I would connect the group stage struggles to our ability to win finals because our attitude, our mentality is inherently defensive. There are pros and cons to this defensive mentality. We have a conservative attitude. We don't go for the kill when we need to and try it play it too safe when we dont need to which ultimately causes our downfall.
