What a tactical setup by Maresca. PSG and Enrique did not have a clue what to do (and I regard Enrique as the best in the business) .
And this isn't just a random team we played. They have been destroying some of the best teams in Europe. This is a statement win and next season these boys are ready to challenge for all competitions
Maresca has an exceptional football brain and the value of being away together for a tournament and really working together cannot be underestimated going forward. I'm so pleased the gamble of ditching Pochetino and going with Maresca has paid off and what a finish to the season, top 4, winners of the European Conference League and Club World Champions. We are back to the top table but need to stay humble, rest up and go again to try to catch Liverpool who will surely be the team to beat next season.

RPD, as I was one of the few on this site advocating patience with EM I suppose I should be feeling smug at the moment. Two trophies and Champs League qualification isn’t a bad return for a managers first season in charge but the reality is, I have no reason to ever feel comfortable with any manager. They stand or fall by the results of the first team. If we lose the first few games of next season, there will criticism. It goes with the job.
