What a night! Definitely has the feel of an epic “end of phase one” for Unai. A brilliant run from the relegation places, repeated European qualification and now a long-awaited major trophy, getting totally unexpected levels of performance from a squad that was largely there already, around a soon to be legendary core of Martinez, Cash, Konsa, McGinn, Kamara, Buendia, Watkins, Digne etc, with just a few successful additions.
How phase two shakes out depends on how much the owners can/ want to / are allowed to invest. Squad needs a bit of trimming, a bit of depth and a bit of youth.
