No doubt by the time Utd are ready to challenge for this again both Barca and Madrid will be revitalized and on the rise again rather than the slow decline of the last few years.
Poor standard this seasons CL, not bitterness over the finalist, just a little surprise at how comfortable it has been for Chelsea and City. City are very good, but I think they have had better teams in recent years, if not better depth, while Chelsea have looked toothless for most of the domestic season, at least until the change.
