Did FC Basel miss a unique opportunity by missing the final? Probably! Does he deserve a scolding for that? No!
It is rare enough that we can still cheer for a Swiss club in the European Cup in the spring. And if so, then with FCB. While the other Super League clubs give up early, Rood-Blauw performs reliably on the international stage. Over the past 20 years, Basel has wintered 13 times in Europe, reaching the quarter-finals three times and the semi-finals twice.
The latest European coup is both a blessing and a curse for FCB. The young squad is not mentally stable enough to perform in the daily competitive life after the exuberant nights on the international stage. The result: FCB will end the Super League worse than ever since it was founded 20 years ago. The Amdounis and Dioufs have put a price tag on themselves for this, which will ease the financial situation in the Joggeli at least in the short term.
In order to start the next international adventure with the new coach Timo Schultz in the summer, FCB must show its Euro face in the final sprint of the competition. It will be difficult enough against Lugano, Servette and GC, who are at the table in front of him. If FCB stays in the bottom half of the table, a heavy hangover follows after the exuberant nights of the European Cup.
