IMO the issue we have with CL finals goes deeper than the quality of our squad. 97,98 we had easily the strongest team. You could argue that in 2015 we had an inferior squad but this year it was all an issue of mentality and confidence.
In a QF or SF, where the team doesn't suffer from this mental collapse, no way we'd get hammered by Madrid like in the final.
We have a solid team right now, add a good DM and a true left winger and we are set. But we need to work harder on being a ruthless, confident team destroying minnows left and right, and fighting to our last breath if we make it to the CL final again.

That was the same team that battered us in the final.
