Same here.

Playing since CM2 and have been always successful with back to back league titles and champion league winner. But in FM08 the AI team is much consistence and running better policy to renew their squad.

Playing with Werder Bremen for 7 seasons i could manage to win the league twice only, against the Bayern which have superiority in squad qualities.
Also, the best i can get is semi-final in the champion league.

I won the Champions League with Leeds in 2018.

Semi finals are hard. My approach away from home was to play a 4-1-2-3 system, with the defenders closing down to zilch. Long ball tactic, slowish tempo, counter attack.

I beat Real 2-1 and then 1-0 at Elland Road playing the same tactic to protect my lead.

Final I beat Bayern which was sweet revenge for 1975 playing a 4-1-3-2 system, defensive, short passing, counter attack. Won 1-0.

Just persevere with it.

English sides ARE over-rated. Man U and Arsenal have won the last two CL's on my game, even though they both played Lyon in the final, so nothing hard there. I've also noticed no Greek side ever reaches the group stage, they all get knocked out in Qualifying.

I managed to win the champions league in my second season with athletico madrid.

I didn't have an amazing team, only finnished 3rd in la liga.

When i won it felt like i didn't deserve it even though i had beaten both milans en route and then barca in the final.

As far as i remember i didn't do anything different in these games to those in the league.

Incidently i only had two players in the team of the competition.

I've not really had any major CL problems. Reached the semi-final in my third season with Rangers before getting pumped by Real Madrid. Moved to Man Utd that summer and won the CL in first season, although they were defending champions when I took over.

Well in my eyes you must be the next Avarm Grant. Tottenham are class. We would always beat you if it came down to it. :p

Funny, because I've always had a problem with domestic opposition in europe as well, both in 07 and 08.
