    I remember pundits completely losing it back then lol

    “It’s disrespectful!” :D

    Managers occasionally used to complain about CL clubs resting players and fielding weakened sides against their opposition.

    The same managers then started resting their best players against Mourinho’s Chelsea to preserve their strength for matches they had a chance of winning, and everyone just kind of accepted that rotation is what we do now.
