“It is a tough competition, and it is very tight,” Ten Hag told reporters on Wednesday. “Also, it comes down to which players are available and which players are not.

“When you are on the right side of the line, you can have a successful season, but in this competition where it is so competitive, it can also be a time where you are on the wrong side. Then you may have a season which is more difficult.

“For the rest, they have a fantastic team and they have fantastic players, they play good football so they can beat everyone and they have already shown that in this league.”
