How embarrassing is it to get one of the easiest groups and then fail to beat any but the very worst team? It's actually astonishing how poorly they've done. This is not a club that's run on a shoestring budget, and they have a manager who was, not so long ago, hailed as one of the best in Europe. They're unusually fortunate to have landed in the one single group where you can remain in first place after winning two games in five. In half the other groups, they wouldn't even be advancing with that record.
