BTW on my main account i had a 4-3-3 team with 1 9*, 1 8* and the rest 7* players and couldn t make it out of the group stages in CL because 2 of my opponents were 1 level higher but i was still considerably better. So the record says that everytime i had a 9* player i fcked up in the competition.-100%
If i had a slightly better side than him i would have surely won with either formation, it seems at least for me that as better i have my squad the higher the chances for me to lose in the finals.
