We did better last year with an inferior squad, scored more with a worse strike force.
We need to analyse better what our issues were this year, and it's right to say we weren't good enough, because that is plain and simple. I just don't agree with the reasons for it.

Our team is definitely good enough to do well in the CL. We simply did not get the job done and made one too many errors in the group stage, but the talent is there for sure. We are considered one of the best teams in Europe for a reason.
Everyone always seems to be scaremongering when something goes wrong and we should not panic or risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater. We have a great team and even if we do not sign another great player in the summer we would still have a great team.
We just need to make fewer mistakes and get a bit of luck too. If teams like Milan, who are an absolute mess, can get to the knockouts and Napoli can get 12 points in a group with Dortmund and Arsenal (unlucky to be the first team with 12 points to ever be knocked out)... then why cant Juve go far?
Sure we lost to Gala in a random game but there is no way Gala are a better team, nor are Schalke, Olympiacos, Milan or Zenit. Yet they are all in the knockouts this season.
