For a team that won the English Premier title last season, a lot more than what they have done this season was demanded from them as reigning Champions but they have fallen short of those expectations.

It was one of the best decisions I’ve made, coming here. I love it. We’re just doing individual stuff at home.

This situation is not ideal because we were doing so well and we were in the Champions League spaces. We just want to finish and try to secure one of those spaces because Champions League football is something I’ve always wanted to [play].”
