I don't believe they have had a better season than us considering the expectations of the sides. Not in the slightest.
This cup was a nothing contest. Not a single decent team stood against them. It was like asking Utd to go and play in the Championship and see if they could win. Sure enough, I'd expect Utd to do well there.
Nothing like the Europa cup of last season.
Wholeheartedly agree that the Europa League this season was back to its usual poorer standard. Unfortunately for us last year through whatever circumstances (mainly the quality of the Champions League arrivers) it was a way more competitive tournament.
And yeah, considering the shitload of money they spent and the fact we didn't spend, I'd much rather have our team. I think we're a better team at the moment.
But they did win two trophies and have qualified for the CL outright. They were the most successful side in 2 of the 4 competitions they entered this season and we were the most successful in zero. Again.
