One thing I think we all have to really control expectations is that even with Ronaldo, without a big upgrade in our midfield, we still aren't clear UCL favorites. We're certainly in the top ring now with Barca, Real, Bayern and maybe City but without an upgrade to our midfield, I don't think we're clearly ahead of them.
It's also why if we have any kind of spare spending money left (maybe from selling Higuain/Rugani/Benatia), we should 100% bomb on a SMS/Pogba/Kante and Godin to clearly cement our squad as UCL favourites on paper
