A single measly Big Cup quarter-final with Juventus in 2013 is the best he’s managed on the continent, if you don’t count nearly winning Big Vase in 2020 with a team containing Ashley Young, Alexis Sánchez and Victor Moses, which we probably should do, but for the ease of narrative, don’t. Either way, it’s all very strange. Oh oh Antonio!
