I often see them falling apart and then going on winning something at the end of the season. Then they fall apart again but they do somehow win again. This is not a dig, I’m genuinely impressed at what the club does, its not like they get wonderkid money every summer either. It’s interesting.

    They don’t really fall apart, if you look at their finishes they pretty much always finish 4th somehow. Last year was an anomaly but they have an experienced/old squad and you could tell midway through the season they started resting players in La Liga games for Europa League games.

    Ramon Sanchez their stadium is also one of the loudest stadiums in Spain and it’s always full in European nights. For those who don’t watch La Liga they are similar to someone like Newcastle at home. They convincgly beat Manchester United, Juventus and Fenerbache there in EL last year. Those are all teams that finished higher than them in their leagues.

    So I would say they are actually not that inconsistent except from 2022 to now. Before that they were extremely consistent at getting 4th. But their home stadium atmosphere is amazing thats why you see them get results vs like Real Madrid this season. So if they somehow make into Europa League they could still make a deep run.
