Makes the Sevilla loss more frustrating, Real, Bayern, Barca, Juve all regressed from 2-3 years ago, all have vulnerabilities to get at. Odd state of the game, non competitive leagues, these teams not being tested, leads to bad habits.

They've grown old rather than regressed per-se. Core of each of those teams have been around for years. Not too dissimilar to Fergie's team that went to 3 finals in 4 years to not making the QF in his last two years.
The Messi-Ronaldo years are coming to its twilight. It's imperative we build the squad so we're ready to take over.
