So if we now win the next playoff game, all 6 group stage games, 2 Ro16 games, 2 quarter finals, 2 semi finals and a final, we'd get about as much as a team that has qualified for the group stages of the CL and not even played a game yet.
We absolutely MUST put this drain of resources to one side.
Play the same team next week. If we go out, so what.
