Although I guess if you’re a Man City or United fan, you might have a different view.
Couldn't be happier to see Liverpool lose.
You could probably still make an argument for saying a club are the best team in Europe, even if they haven’t won the biggest prize(s), when it’s that close a bit of luck is the only difference between winning and losing. Don’t think many would have said Italy are the best national team in Europe despite them winning the Euros and the fact they didn’t qualify for the following World Cup kind of backs that up.
But I would expect pundits to be a little bit biased when a British club is playing an overseas club, especially when they’re former players. As long as they’re being fair on how they see the actual play in the match, which I think they usually are.
