Well...I doubt Real Madrid lost sleep of not winning their domestic championship while they collected the Champions League trophy 3 times in recent years. We have won more domestic trophies than Real Madrid did in recent years, but, most people still regard Real as a better and more successful team than we are. Thats the fact! Lets be realistic, the Champions League is still regarded as the yardstick of a successfull club now. The results today are not so bad. Yes, we missed the chance to cut the gap, but, Arsenal failed to extend the lead as well. There are still a lot to play for.
