Manchester did it against Paris Saint-Germain, we saw it. Liverpool also made their way against Barcelona. Tottenham was not left behind, they repeated the same against Ajax.
It seems this is a gene in the Premier League.
This was evident when former Chelsea player Frank Lampard successfully led his club Derby County to the Championship final in a bid to be featured in the Premier League.
Derby County suffered a major defeat after they were thrashed 1-0 at their home ground in their first leg of the Championship playoffs semi-final.
No one, as the manager Lampard said, believed that Derby County will make it through to the finals after the humiliation which gave Leeds United an away goal advantage.
Lampard miraculously made a comeback on Wednesday when they turned against Leeds United at their home ground and thrashed the host 4-2, making them qualify for the Championship playoff finals.
