I am amused by your attempt to paint our path to CL lucky.
Just bacause it was two Portuguese sides and Milan? How about getting past the group with Bayern and Barcelona?
And as much you want to downplay this, playing a derby semifinal is something that's incredibly hard, let alone win twice. Milan KOd Napoli who was doing what we're doing to Serie A now...
City beat Gladbach, Dortmund and PSG to reach the final in 2021...
How's that tougher? At least Benfica and Porto have European pedigree and compete for a title. And PSG, sure, stacked team, but fragile mentally.
PSGs run to the final was Dortmung and then single games against Atalanta and Leipzig... wasn't that "lucky"?
Liverpool beat Porto, City (who were still choking at all QFs) and Roma to reach the final. How was that tougher?
Real Madrid in 2016, had Roma, Wolfsburg and Pellegrini's City which wasn't anything special. Barely beat these guys. Then barely beat Atletico in PKs. Undeserved and lucky?
Atletico had beaten PSV, Barcelona (holders) and Bayern (possibly the favorites) to reach that final..
Real Madrid only played German teams to reach the final in 2014.
Dortmund had to beat Shakhtar and Malaga to get to play Real in the semis and reach the final. Lucky?
Manchester United in 2011 had to beat Marseille, Chelsea (Anelka was their best player ffs) and Schalke to reach the final. Was that lucky?
Can you stop this nonsense? This is why you're carrying that "pick on me" target card on your back. And you're doing it repeatedly and purposely!
