Thermopylae 15,288 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's a bit strange because back in the European Cup days many of the winners did do it ... and it can't be the new format since it's still a knockout tournament at the business end after Christmas Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinty 1,445 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Bizarre, just talking about this at lunch. Did Seedorf retain it, although at different clubs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummiesoot 16,278 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Increase in number of clubs capable of winning it with many teams from the top countries. Before it was one representative so not totally surprising to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter huistra 1,763 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 During the 90s when teams won it their players got bought by other clubs weakening them for the next season plus after winning such a prestige cup players and manager lose hunger or concentrate on winning the lg . Its very draining reaching a euro final to do it two seasons in a row would be very lucky . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh looking at my post it does look cringey..Still think their not the best side ever though.Was my first 'woosh' too so thank you.Best ever? Who knows.We had the Milan side and this Barca side (2 or 3 years ago) and no doubt if Bayern continue they will be labelled the same in a few years.
