Some people have their mind warped or something and still didn't realize we were in those positions in CL because of Allegri. Yeah, we had a good team, but aside from the Ajax fixture, which we had to go through even with all the injuries, we were eliminated or lost to a much superior opponent every single time. Every single time. We had no business eliminating RM in 2015, we had no business in being so close in 2016 vs Bayern or 2018 vs RM.
Again, we had good teams, really good sometimes, but other than Chiellini and Buffon none of our players would be starting for RM, Barca or Bayern those years. We were the closest in 2015, we almost had a team on par with Barca but we didn't have Chiellini and we didn't have the experience.
Yeah it sounds stupid because if the whole Juve motto and everything, but we're to Barca, RM and Bayern in CL what Napoli was to us in Serie A. A good team with good fight until the end, but just lack the quality they have. No amount of fancy hipster tactical phrases will change that. We could've been conservative or positive as much as we would've liked, but we were underdogs every year to the big 3 in Europe. We never had a team of superstars like before Farsopoli and we were never on the same level as them. Simple as.
