However, it hasnt taken me long to realize that this team has a reputation for finishing second.
Last season was my first year watching, and I witnessed them fall just short of the title.
Now, once again, they find themselves in prime position for yet another second-place finish.
If thats the case, whats the point of finishing second when third place still guarantees Champions League qualification?
Maybe Im being irrationalmaybe this is just the frustration talking.
At some point, second place stops feeling like progress and starts feeling like a cruel joke.
