My wife and me are (again) in the same CL. At first knock-out round, there was a 122% team called MU. They won all six group games, goals 29:2. They had to play against CFC, 89% team, which won 4, lost 2 group games, goals 15:9.
First leg, CFC beat MU 2:1 at home, so I never though, they will go on at CL.
Second leg, I watched. Both manager were there. CFC was down 0:2, made at least a change at formation, made a comeback to 2:2. Finally he lost at 88' 3:2, but he kicked out the 122%.
Next round... CFC met my wife (117%). He was also there at both games. At first leg, he shot 1:0, my wife made some changes, finally she won 7:1. Second leg, she knowed him, managed it from the beginning. She won 5:0.
The morale: Quality is important, but best quality without managing is nothing.
