English Teams in European Cup Finals.

[map]

Well , ignoring the fact that most of the players are not English.....4 English teams in both of the European cup finals ;
Liverpool
Chelsea
Tottenham
Arsenal

That must be a good thing for the future of English football....if you know what I mean ?

Well, another fact is that all the managers of these teams, are not English!!!

Conclusion: What seems foreign ,seems better,is better??

True Balanbam ,
I mean look at Pochettino change of shape and personell , removing full backs and going long.
I liked him before but his thinking was decisive enough to make a difference to get spurs to the final.
Not many if any English managers would have done it.
Maybe there is something in that, a European view of our game is just better

map --I conclude that there is more than a hint of sarcasm in your last question and I totally agree!

4 teams who used a total of 56 players in these semi-final second legs and there were just a total of 11 English players involved. Of those 11, just 8 were in the starting line up and 3 of those were later substituted. The three who came on as substitutes completed a total of 17 minutes on the field in total.
Just 5 players played the full 90+ minutes and these were Trent Alexander-Arnold, James Milner and Jordan Henderson of Liverpool, Deli Alli of Spurs and Ainsley Maitland-Niles of Arsenal.

So, as you say, "That must be a good thing for the future of English football......"
