I think everyone is too happy and they can’t see the bigger picture.
I’d be specific and say our league season was a failure. Our CL season is still an overachievement even with the kind draw. Can’t deny the results look good overall but the play especially in 2023 has been shocking…
Too happy with what exactly?
With us making top 4 due to nothing but luck?
With us exiting the Coppa in a humiliating way?
With us having the worst month in the history of the club?
With us losing 4 consecutive derbies and not scoring a single goal in them? First time in the history of the derby. Nearly 110 years of history and hundreds of derbies and we went down in history with a humiliating record.
With us playing some of the ugliest football you can find in Europe?
With us giving another trophy in merda's hands with a humiliating result?
With us setting numerous negative records?
With us getting eliminated for the first time in our history by an Italian team?
What exactly makes people happy about this season?
Even our CL campaign is not as good as many here claim it to be.
Our group consisted of a team from Croatia, a team from Austria and a PL team what will finish in the bottom half of the table. Progressing from this group shouldn't be regarded as anything impressive. What's more we should've topped this group. Instead of topping it though, we actually got dismantled by the 12th placed team in PL. 5-0 aggregate score.
Then in the R16 we faced another shit PL team (currently 8th). We progressed with the amazing 1-0 aggregate score.
Then in the quarters we faced a team that was at this stage of the tournament for the first time in its history. A team that was overachieving so hard that people actually started to believe that they are the real deal. In reality their team consists of donkies like Meret, Rui, Rrahmani and Lozano. And again we progressed with the ultra impressive 2-1 aggregate score.
At the semi finals we faced a team consisting of Acerbi, Darmian, Mkhitaryan, Dumfries, Dzeko, etc. and only Maignan saved us from humiliation. Despite his heroic saves in the first game, the aggregate score was 3-0. 4th consecutive loss against them in 3 months.
So, yeah, going to the semis was nice and definitely unexpected, but we literally faced 2 teams with decent reputation and here are the stats:
4 games, 4 losses, 8 goals conceded, 0 goals scored
So happy...
P.S. The only thing that makes me happy is that Maldini pulled all key renewals and that Pioli was forced to play Thiaw and he balled right away. The rest of the season is an absolute shitshow.
