I don't know if they purposely crashed out
but when VdV is left out of the squad and Modric/Bale etc. don't even travel to away games he's not exactly going for it
I have no problem with it, at this point the regulars would have started playing and it would have taken it's toll, the youfs got some experience in Europe which is a good thing. If they weren't pushing for a CL spot I wish they would go for it
I never understood why the Evertons and Villas of the world never made a push to win it, they would have a good shout and it's a lot more likely than top 4 for them
