I went out of the CL the other day. I was beaten fair and square. The first match he did me away 3-0. The second match I opened the scoring but despite my best efforts against an absent manager, I went down 1-3 at home. Well and truly beaten.

The thing is, I have smashed him twice in the league. And I mean SMASHED. I did him 0-4 at his place and then banged 7 in against him at home, with no real threat on my goal during the game. That is an aggregate of 11-0 in the league, but he took me apart in the CL.

Am I complaining? No. $h1t happens. I'm not gonna throw my toys out of the pram.

And you know what? It happens in real life too!

During the group stages of the REAL CL, Malaga beat Milan at home and drew away. Malaga progressed as champions and Milan went through to the knockout as runners up.

Milan recently thrashed Barcelona. Does that mean Malaga are better than Barcelona? Oh how I wish that was true! They anihalate us regularly in the league and domestic cups.

Excuse my injecting reality in to this SIMULATION.
