making it to the final gets you a $#@!load of cash, coefficientpoints etc. etc.... it is a big of a deal you moron...
I'd rather make it to the final 5 times in a row than win it once and crash out of the group stage the next 4 years
Players want to join a side who are competitive in both the league and the CL... making it to the final is a dream for every single player on earth
How can you be so dumb? The only thing that counts is winning, who cares if you got to the final and lost it like it happened in 2003 for example. Yes, we were the best team and deserved the title, but in the end we didn't win so it was not that big of a deal. You play to win, not to get coefficient points you idiotic moron.:facepalm2:
No, players want to join a side that is capable of winning the CL, not just getting to the final. The only way to convince a top player of that is to win the competition, no current superstar would want to join a team that only has 2 European titles and in addition puts on mediocre performances like we do under Conte.
For example, we won the CL in 1996 and then the next year we built the best team in history.

The funny thing is, we had that $#@! in his tar on our team, and yet we still didn't manage to win the "Big Ears" with that $#@! suiting up for us. Once he defected to Milan, Mr. Offside managed to win the trophy for them. Such a disgusting cretin.
He didn't defect, he left because the great superstar Trez was considered to be better. Inzaghi proved that was all wrong by winning the CL twice with a lesser team. As for Zidane, he really wanted to leave Juventus, which was fair enough imo. But he was still light years ahead of Nedved, that's for sure.
