To win leagues you've got to be the best.
To win cups, you've also got be lucky.
Real Madrid are in no way the best club side in Europe for half the years they've won the CL recently.
Re the original Fraudiola thread on the old site, I copied and pasted Pep's achievements list from his wiki. It was so long it nearly broke the site
I would say City's 100 point seasons are as impressive as any achievement. The point I always make about City too, and this is as much the boardroom as Pep, is what they've done with players who would not be on anyone's obvious galactico list. If you had unlimited money like they do, 9 out of 10 clubs would be signing Neymars and Pogbas and Modrics.
The list is so long, but no-one on here with City's chequebook would have said nah, give me Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Vincent Kompany, Mahrez, John Stones, Ruben Diaz, Laporte, Leroy Sane, Ederson, Rodri.... And Pep's made a team that's broken most top flight records out of all of them. Even Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva improved big time under him.
