We could still balls it up of course but these are the sorts of games we have messed up with depressing consistency in the last 5 years or so.
You say 'fair enough' to that but go on to talk about the City game and upcoming Cup game as if they'll be 'significant' in some sort of way if we win. It's just shifting goal posts. We've beaten Bayern and Dortmund recently. We've beaten Barca some years back and I remember hearing a similar train of thought each time. From the fans and team. "Well, if we can beat ........., it proves we can one of Europes best' or whatever bollocks people want to attach to that one moment. Why is it significant?
