the next year got to the semis by avenging their final loss

this year lost the same exact way man city did, to the same exact team

also, it seems slightly disingenuous to lump 5 years of ronaldo into 5 years without and then act like the success has been evenly achieved across ten years.

this is the first time theyve done anything without him in Europe, and they got smoked by an Eredivisie team in the interim.
