Also Leonardo is just not a very good coach and I still have no idea why they hired a guy who failed while coaching their main rivals just out of spite.
Crazy how far that team has fallen from last season with Jose being the only real piece that left that team.

I find that repeats are very difficult for a few reasons. First of all, once you win it all you become a scalp. Everyone plays over their heads to take you down.
Secondly, motivation, sure every player says they want to win it all, all the time, but once you've done it the motivation to repeat isnt as strong because if you dont win it the next time, oh well, who cares, you already won it.
Either way, they didnt take Schalke seriously and they got spanked.
