They got also really lucky :
- In the league stage they meet only 3 good teams, Man, Bayer and Arsenal and they only got 4 points out of it
- Feyenord was anyhow a weak team, they struggled with Bayern, and their only true game was with Barcelona away, Inter managed to play two games really good, the one they won in Munich and the 4-3 with Barca and that was kind of all, they did just enough to win, kind of ironic compared to how for example Liverpool went out in the quarters by playing just one wrong game after 7 wins in the league stage.
This is not going to work this season again, no way it will.
In my opinion, the Champions League still needs to get going; most of the games played have been sloppy and predictable. i am eagerly awaiting the heat to rise and the heated matches to arrive, the ones where we play hard and try to win with anger and the desire to go all the way.
The Champions League is almost here. I, too, want the excitement to begin, and I can't wait. Along with the new teams, a few surprise teams could emerge as standouts in Europe. Chelsea, for example, could prove everyone wrong in this regard, as there aren't many expectations for them right now. Paris Saint-Germain, as the defending champions, is one of the favorites this year. If they don't suffer some troubling results like they have in recent matches, they could be heading to the finals again.
