Although it’s true Man Utd may have won silverware this year did they really have a better season than BSC Young Boys who managed a famous league and cup double in Switzerland and will also play in the Champions League next year?
You have to say Utd, nobody tipped them for 3rd so that’s an overachievement.Although it’s true Man Utd may have won silverware this year did they really have a better season than BSC Young Boys who managed a famous league and cup double in Switzerland and will also play in the Champions League next year?
I’d say Man Utd had the better season overall.
While YB won the league after loosing out to Zürichs underdog win last year, it was largely expected they would comfortably bounce back this season. With their recent dominance of Swiss football and expected domestic trophies, the season was overshadowed by their early exit from Europe, not managing to get through the qualifiers. Meanwhile rivals Basel, who finished 5th in the league, nearly got to a european final. Additionally the lost revenue will hurt the club significantly and the squad had been planned for many additional matches, leaving some underused players unhappy.
Meanwhile, Man Utd won a trophy and qualified for the CL. That’s probably on the upper spectrum of what people expected.
