Yes but you’re not just “acknowledging” at all.
You said ENIC had made “stratospheric” improvements in the same post you called them bottlers.
If you don’t find that a massive contradiction then I can’t help you out here.
What you are talking about, with the CL final, is acknowledging that the team and manager did well to get there but ultimately failed at the last hurdle due to tactics, nerves, mentality and performance.
That night was not ENIC bottling it, because they didn’t buy Wan Bissaka and Grealish.
I don’t think the transfer window cost us this one specific game, do you?
