Jose Mourinho referred to the teams going to the Europa League as the "failed sharks." Juventus, Atletico, and Barcelona are three of the teams moving on to the Europa League after failing to advance to the round of 16 in the champions league. Despite the game's final score of 4-3, Benfica dominated Juventus. Due to its inability to overcome Benfica as well as other teams in the group, Juventus is having problems. Juventus only managed to win 4 games out of the previous 14 games, which is not good news for a squad that is expected to win championships. Juventus head coach Allegrie is under criticism as each game goes by. The manager is backed and supported by those in charge of the club, however the fans have different opinions. Some supporters seek a change because they believe the coach can't make the team's current predicament better.
Fans of the Blaugrana are frustrated because their club is squandering crucial matches. Barcelona is moving on to the Europa League after failing to defeat Inter Milan twice. Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kessie, Kounde, and other talents were signed by Barça during the summer's exciting transfer market, but the team still struggles to succeed when it matters. There are huge expectations for the manager because Xavi is leading this team. After losing to Bayern Munich 3-0, it was confirmed that Barcelona will indeed compete in the Europa League. Concerned by the outcome of the last several games, fans are asking questions and expressing their views. Losing the El Classico, Inter Milan, and Bayern, Xavi's time is running out.
Atletico was not a favorite to win, but they were also not a favorite to be demoted to the Europa League. Atletico Madrid is one of the clubs that performs poorly in the champions league this year, after failing to win games in their respective group. Fans questioned whether the dispute between Barcelona and Atletico over Griezman's contract contributed to the team's defeat short comings. Diego Simone appears to be deeply impacted by what has happened, according to an interview. Although it's a difficult choice, he said he still wants to be the Atletico Madrid coach. The failing sharks will be met by Mourinho!
