i didnt say the strongest in Europe,but the strongest in the CL(which is the same thing actually)but they did concede the least goals(before Ferdiand was banned)
And about the juve having a weak defence that year, I take it back then, I didnt realise they had a good record. I just remember dodgy borderline desperate defence against Deportivo and especially Barca. Didnt exactly look THAT great to me
it's been a fact for the past few decades now that serie a and la liga are superior,i don't know why people always bother to dig it up whenever some english club achieve some supposedly astounding feat.
I know what you ment, but all I'm saying is that a slump is only normal after you've been in the top for 5 years. You cant be in the last 8 or 4 teams in the CL every year.

Italian teams won the CL 10 times,Spanish teams won the CL 10 times,English teams won it 9 times,its a slight difference so you cant call it a fact.
Italian clubs have won five and played in 10 of the last 16 Champions Cup Finals, not to mention winning 8 of the last 16 UEFA Cups.. Spanish clubs have won four and played in six C.L. Finals, with only winning one UEFA Cup. In the past 16 years, only one English club has made the C.L. Final, winning it in '99. While in the same period only one English club has won one UEFA cup.
2 European trophies in 16 years is pretty miserable IMO. But this year they might have the strongest chance to improve that record.
