Rafa said it wouldn't be a tragedy if we lost. He was right. But the way we played - the way we utterly collapsed - was a tragedy.
That match was possibly the worst thing that has happened to this club since our bankruptcy. It'll set us back not only this year, but for years to come. We not only needed that money to secure players to repair the gaping holes in our squad, but we needed to increase our coeffecient to eventually extract ourselves from pot 3 of the CL.
This team is shambolic right now. The managerial control is laughable. And now we won't even have the money to fix some of the problems. At this rate, we'll be exceedingly fortunate to qualify for even the CL playoff next year.
Welcome to an endless string of Europas for years to come, Napoli. We've earned it.
