And it makes it for fun for both teams cause now this season is either a big stepping stone in rebuilding, or the most humiliating season in modern club history.

And yeah, banging on this being the trash final isn't anything other than pointing out two teams who both have won below 50% of their games this season are playing for a trophy. But I'm optimistic the crappiness will breed a very fun Final. Or it'll be a 120 minute torture chamber. We'll find out in a few weeks.
That’s because the back door comments are entirely a negative connotation. It’s entirely to give the impression that one of these teams is going to be in CL next season and they don’t deserve it.
