Apart from the double elimination which can be seen as nothing to write home about, the elimination of the 16/17 season and last season due to the away goal system, coupled with the fact that Sterling failed to score the equalizer late in the game this season which led to the team's outright elimination, seems to have a kind of luck that is just a little bit less justifiable. While it is true that luck is often a factor in the matchups between the best and the brightest, the fact that the team has been unable to move forward for four consecutive seasons is obviously not to be blamed on luck alone.
