I do think though that he prioritises the Champions League over the Premiership simply because he thinks we've got a better chance of winning it. I can understand that sentiment, because we have. You're really only got to win three or at the most four meaningful ties to get home in Europe, whereas in the league it's much harder.
I think it said much about how Rafa is that we are going to win the League this season when you look at the teams he put out in the FA Cup. In both the third and fourth rounds he put out pretty much a full strength team, despite impending league committments. Like I say, he's not a fool by any means and he knows we could really do with winning a trophy this season, for a variety of reasons.
